Thanks you so much for suggesting this. As an organization, ADTA can only do
so much to help unless we as individuals do our part. 

 

In this case, it is simple- Please read Robyn's suggestion below & take
action today! It really is easy & can help so much.

PS If you have a problem taking this action, write me & I will attempt to
help.

I would like to add one more piece of information to this discussion.  All 

active members of ADTA have the ability to go online on the ADTA website at 

www.adta.org and register information about themselves INCLUDING IF THEY 

HAVE A STATE LICENSE. Go to the "Members' Only" area, login with your 

username and password, and choose # 7 from the list "Edit the All About You 

page" -- here you can note if you have a state license.  The ADTA National 

Office can then download this information for all members and sort by state.


Currently very few members have completed this information -- it takes less 

than 10 minutes -- do it today!

Subject: [Adta] More regarding LPC
