|
|
Congratulations to Cynthia Linsenbardt, the PATH Intl. Member of the month for April!
 The PATH Intl. Member of the Month for April is Cynthia Linsenbardt a PATH Intl. Certified Instructor from Bloomington, IN, who lends her expertise and passion to the fine folks at People and Animal Learning Services, Inc. a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center also in Bloomington.
Cynthia first joined PATH Intl. in 2011 to pursue instructor certification after a few years of volunteering at different EAAT facilities. She says her favorite thing about belonging to the EAAT community is that, "We are all on the same team - everyone is about helping the riders and caring for the horses, instead of competing and making money off of them."

The New PATH Intl. Database Has Launched!
|
|
At long last the association is able to announce the launch of a new fabulous member benefit--a brand new, more interactive, user-friendly association management system (AMS)! For several months we've been sharing in the
PATH Intl. eNews
some of its cool new features and now it's time to show you what we've been so excited about. We think you will be pleased to see some information you weren't able to view in the previous system, such as your continuing education hours (CEUs) and a progress bar for those in the certification process to map their progress and items needing completion.
On Monday April 15th all members and center primary contacts received a welcome email with the user name and link to set a password. If you did not receive it please check your spam account or contact the PATH Intl. office.
We invite you to get accustomed to navigating this new member experience, where you can:
* Update your contact information
* Complete your instructor compliance forms online
* Review any past transactions or open invoices
* Browse the new online store
* Find your purchased downloadable education items
* Search the new member directories
* Register for PATH Intl. events
Please check that all your information (such as your contact information) is correct. Errors in your contact information are something members can and should update or correct themselves. To report inaccuracies in your membership or certification information, please contact Karen Province, or call (800) 369-7433, ext. 103.
To maximize your user experience, we have created several how to videos:

PATH Intl. CTRI Certification Exam Pilots

May 3, 3:30 to 6 p.m. MT
PATH Intl. Region 4 Conference (Augusta, Michigan)

Trial exam scores will NOT be recorded nor impact any certifications held nor future certification applications. The exam questions will be scored with the sole purpose of analyzing question performance across all exams completed, NOT analyzing individual tester performance.
