The annual Professional Development (PD) Audit will be conducted in the Spring and in preparation for the audit, we need to secure auditors with PAg or TAg designations that are willing to serve as reviewers of three-year PD reports and engage with their respective auditees regarding these reports. Online training will be provided. 2-4 (or more) auditees are assigned to each auditor. 5 PDHs can be claimed for volunteering.

Training will take place on Feb 9, 2026 at Noon PST and Feb 12, 2026 at Noon PST. The PD Audit and training will be conducted between February 17 and March 31, 2026. PD auditors are expected to submit all audit reports by March 31, 2026.

Auditors must commit to:

• Attending one of the two training sessions. Recordings will not be available if you are unable to attend, and you will not be able to participate as an Auditor.
• Reading the information package before the audit
• Being available for the audit period to be available for the Auditee schedule
