A recent major enhancement is our new online transcript database. Instead of waiting for annual transcripts by mail, members can go online to review their CMP records at anytime. With the development of the online transcripts, official transcripts will no longer be sent out to Certified and ACET members automatically. Members will still be entitled to one free paper official transcript annually, but must request a copy from the CMP department at the national office. You will be able to request that transcript anytime during the fiscal year. Once you have received one official transcript for the fiscal year, any additional transcript will require a fee of $10.</div> <bR> <div> The online transcript will enable members to notify the CMP department of any discrepancies in a more timely manner. Please note that upon completion of an activity, it can take up to 60 days for the event to appear on your transcript. If it has been more than 60 days, and the activity still does not appear on your online transcript, you should contact the approving sponsor, or fill out the discrepancy form on the RID web site and send it to the CMP department.</div> <bR> <div> You can review your online transcript on the web site (www.rid.org), under "Searchable Databases." This is a secure database that is password protected for your privacy. You will need to have your RID membership number to access your record. </div> <div> Please direct any questions to the RID National Office by sending an email to: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="mailto:cmp@rid.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:cmp@rid.org">cmp@rid.org</A></FONT> or by calling (703) 838-0030. </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="7" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="549" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#00BFBF > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 206 ><NOBR><div> The <B>CRID...In Touch</B> needs your help!  If you, or someone you know,</div> <div> has a business, product or service that can be advertised to our</div> <div> community I urge you to contact me at   newsintouch@comcast.net</div> <div> Advertising rates are extremely reasonable!</div> <div> Business Card size $10</div> <div> 1/4 page $15</div> <div> 1/2 page $25</div> <div> Full page $40</div> <div> Our newsletter currently reaches approximately 300 subscribers - 25 of</div> <div> whom are located out of state! </div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="10" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="632" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#CCFFFF > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 99 WIDTH="604"><bR> <div> <B>Want to improve your signing/interpreting skills in the luxury of your own home?
