Adopted
Motion: That the NSCA Board of Directors charge the Executive Director to

Supporting Statement: In an effort to insure that consistent
information is being distributed from both the NSCA National Headquarters and
Certification Commission it seems only logical that the Education Department be
involved in the inception and development of all exam preparation materials for
the NSCA certifications. The benefits to both the NSCA Certification Commission
and National Headquarters should include the following:
1. Exam candidates
will get education material in the form of symposia and written material that
aligns with certification material.
2. NSCA Certification Commission staff
will be better able to access National Strength & Conditioning Association
Headquarters staff professional expertise as it pertains to strength &
conditioning.
3. By formalizing this process the Board will be ensuring that
both the NSCA Certification Commission and National Headquarters staffs have a
better understanding of each other's services.
Proposed amended motion by Board P & P Ad Hoc Committee:
Should
not be amended or rescinded.
