	Important Staff Changes As you may have heard, NPMA is working to get the Property Certification program accredited through ANSI. There are a number of changes that need to be made to the program, one of which is that education and certification be set up to be completely independent of each other. In order to meet this requirement, part of the NPMA staff team is being reorganized. Below is contact information for the staff who will handle NPMA courses and Certification programs. For non-certification classes, contact Carly at education@npma.org. For both Property Certification classes and Fleet Certification classes, contact Heather at education@npma.org. (NOTE: Both Carly and Heather will monitor the Education email address). For Certifications – including both Fleet and Property exams, renewals, and work experience summaries, contact Rebecca at certification@npma.org. Staff is currently working on training and getting up to speed in their new roles. We appreciate your patience as we make this transition.
