CAP and the Stephenson Soil and Water Conservation District offer programs that provide the equivalent of 66 CPDUs each year. Please consider participating in these programs as part of your recertification plan.  All offerings are listed as CPDUs for simplicity, although many offerings are hands on, interactive workshops.
