Recruitment for new Curriculum Review Committee (CRC) members

April 22, 2013.

Course materials submitted for credit are reviewed by the Continuing Education Curriculum Review Committee. All credit decisions are made by this committee, which is composed of representatives from the self-insured business community, the labor community, and L&I.

The term of two committee members expire in July, one each representing:

  • Self-insured business.
  • Labor.

We need new members to participate in this vital function. Since we have a current business representative from a TPA, preference will be given to business applicants from a self-administered employer managing their own claims.  If you volunteer, you are committing to:

  • Serve a two-year term (August 2013 through July 2015).
  • Each month, review in advance the materials sent to you.
  • Participate in a monthly telephone conference.
  • Once per quarter, travel to Tumwater to meet in person (in place of the monthly phone conference).

If you are interested in volunteering, please send an e-mail to the Continuing Education mailbox at SIContEDU@lni.wa.gov  Include the following information:

  • Your name.
  • Company name, address, and phone number.
  • A brief description of your current job duties.
  • The reason(s) you would like to serve on this committee.
  • Have you had any prior experience in reviewing materials for a continuing education program?  If yes, please describe your experience.
  • What do you perceive to be the role of this committee?
  • What is your philosophy of the role of an individual committee member?  As a potential member, what contributions would you bring?

Please let us know by May 6, 2013 if you are interested. We will notify all volunteers of our decision no later than May 24, 2013.   We look forward to hearing from you.
