certification corner FROM THE CERTIFICATION CHAIR
by Marian Jackson mda
In 2021, we had 18 passes. 3 new MDAs, 1 ADP, and 5
new CDAs. 9 applicants passed a Master category level.
I would like to thank the Certification Committee for their help. They handled situations with good discussions, careful thought and common sense.
• Barbara Hammett, CDA • Marlene Fudge, CDA
• Marilyn Corners MDA
• Melissa Favor CDA
• Sharon Carlson CDA was the board liaison
• Miho Halsey, without whose invaluable help, nothing would get done.
The judges worked hard, and sometime late, during the Virtual Judging this year. The gratitude list wouldn’t be complete without thanking the family members who stepped in to help and offer support.

We will be offering Certification Seminars once again this year, the details and dates to be announced. Sign up for the DecorativePaintersAcademy.com newsletter to be notified of the details. There will be the General Certification Seminar and a separate Strokework Clinic.
If you didn’t pass in 2021 remember, it’s still early. Try not to be too discouraged and please try, try, try again. 2022 may be your turn.
Free Certification Conferences with a judge are being offered all year. When you are ready to review your board, email me and I’ll set an appointment up for you. The conferences are a place to answer any questions you may have about your entry.
Please join us for this educational opportunity.
