By participating, you'll be helping us ensure that our CPBD certification remains relevant and reflects current industry practices.

This is a critical step in maintaining the integrity and value of our certification program.

Remember, you don't need to be certified to participate.

Your insights as a professional in the field are what truly matter.

Engaging with the survey (which may take up to an hour) contributes to a broader understanding of our profession.

And there's an opportunity to leave comments on any missing Task or Knowledge statements. We highly value your unique perspectives.

And here's some extra motivation to get involved: In today's Coffee With Bernie Show, we'll award the first AIBD Tagline Fleece Hoodie to one of the respondents we've received so far.

This exclusive item isn't available for purchase anywhere else. So, if you haven't completed the survey yet, now's the time. We have four more Friday drawings scheduled.

Thank you once again for your support and dedication to the AIBD. Together, we can continue to shape and elevate our industry.
