Outside of meetings, members also review assigned certification applications and supporting documents using an online system, which takes approximately two additional hours monthly. Experience in legal, tax, finance and/or accounting is helpful but not required. Members are required to sign an NDA. Please reach out to [email protected] with questions or interest!
