	Journey to CAP Certification	13		D. Horan	Marie's study group is the perfect way to prepare for the CAP certification. I took her study group and took the test in April and I am proud to announce that I passed! I wanted to do this for a long time and I am so glad I finally did it! Not only is Marie's study group full of information but she is the best support and cheerleader you could ever have. I wish all of those taking the test in the Fall the best of luck! by D.

	The Spring CAP Exam session has ended!	0		D. Bullis	For all of you that sat for the exam this session, 🍰 🎀 𝒞🌸𝓃𝑔𝓇𝒶𝓉𝓊𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾💞𝓃𝓈❣ 🎀 🍰 I remember the 𝓪𝓷𝔁𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓼𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼 I felt awaiting my results after taking the exam. It felt like it would be forever! The next several weeks will be challenging as you await your results. When that email does arrive, remember, regardless of your results, this exam does not define you. You were a rock-star admin before you took the exam; you are still a rock-star admin after the exam and will still be a rock-star admin when your results come in. IAAP shared a great video last year that explains the scoring process and ＷＨＹ it takes so long. You may find it helpful. https://youtu.be/I5Fg5Ltu6JE by D. Bullis Friday, April 21, 2023

	Summit additions to Recertification Portal after 2019	9		S. Spohn	I did find it but I typically have to go searching every time. Just click on "My Profile" then scroll to the very bottom. I got sick of searching every time and finally bookmarked it. Here is the link: https://www.iaap-hq.org/page/mycertview by P. Nash Thursday, February 16, 2023

	My Why	6		R. Miller	Thank you all! I took the practice exam just to get a feel for the format and get a base knowledge of where I should spend some extra time studying. Going in to it I already knew accounting, HR, and event planning would be areas to address as my company has their own departments for that, so I've never had to do a lot with it. While I felt very comfortable with the questions and confident in my answers, I did not pass. Although I didn't pass, I feel like my percentages weren't horrible; I did not take it to heart and took the results as a base on where I'll be applying extra study time. Just keep moving and look forward to taking the treat in March. :) by R. Miller Monday, January 2, 2023
	My Journey	3		N. Gorham	I love that you included your boys into your 'why' - and showing them that dreams and goals are attainable, no matter when you decide to go for it! My boys were a big part of my 'why', too! I have no doubt you'll do well. Best of luck to you! by S. Stensland Thursday, December 29, 2022
	Why My CAP Certification	4		P. Dickens	Best of luck, Pamela! It will take time and dedication to the study material, but it's definitely attainable! by S. Stensland Thursday, December 29, 2022
	My Why?	4		L. Lindberg	Best wishes to you, Laura. I was 59 when I went on the CAP journey and did it to challenge myself after being in the Admin Prof field for many years. I registered for Marie Herman's Study Group and dedicated hours to studying for the exam. I was nervous and doubted myself, but with the help of others in this amazing organization and my co-workers, I passed! I was so excited and to this day, I still feel the 'accomplishment' of my goal. Best wishes to you and if you need any help or support, reach out to me. Happy Holidays! Donna by D. Bugiel Friday, December 16, 2022

	My WHY and the change	0		A. Wilson	My original journey began as an attempt to receive an educational incentive on my job. After being told I could not receive an educational incentive based on educational accomplishments, I searched for certification programs for administrative personnel and found the CAP several years ago. After reviewing the information for this certification, I realized this program was a "validation" for administrative professionals. This is a way to show others, we know what we know. At the point, my thoughts changed from getting a certification to increase my pay to getting THIS certification that shows others how good we are at what I do. The CAP designation shows just how essential administrative professionals are in all career fields and at all levels. by A. Wilson Thursday, December 15, 2022
	Certified for Growth	7		J. Cronin	So glad we have each other on this journey :) by G. Walkowiak Wednesday, December 14, 2022
