RE:  FCLB working with State Associations for PACE
 
Dear Friends,
 
It has been a pleasure for us to work with the leadership of COCSA to engage in productive dialogue regarding the PACE program for centralized approval of some CE courses.
 
Our member licensing boards have requested this service to help reduce their overwhelming workload, and program providers have asked for uniform approval criteria and a streamlined application process for relicensure credits. After five years of development, PACE is scheduled to begin taking applications this spring.
 
We are very appreciative of the many excellent and constructive recommendations for program improvements we have received from all areas of the profession.
 
We are enclosing our most recent letter to COCSA president, Dr. Kevin Donovan, who responded this week expressing appreciation to the Federation for our professional and cooperative outreach.
 
I would also like to publicly thank Dr. Laurel Cowie of Nova Scotia, who has served PACE since its inception in both development and now by spearheading our educational outreach. She did a fabulous job presenting to the COCSA annual conference in November, and has done much to allay the natural concerns people have when confronted with change.
 
Please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of our board or staff if you have any ideas concerning the PACE program. 
 
Rick
Dr. Richard L. Cole
FCLB President
