What must all members do by August 31st of each year?

Every member is required to renew their license by August 31st of each year. This renewal process is essential for maintaining the validity of their license to practice, ensuring that members continue to meet the professional and educational standards required by the regulatory body. The renewal process often includes the completion of specific continuing education requirements or proof of professional conduct, which are important for upholding the integrity and standards of the profession.

Completing additional training, submitting annual reports, and attending a conference, while potentially useful for professional development or organizational accountability, are not mandated actions that apply universally to all members by this specific deadline. Therefore, renewing the license stands out as the critical requirement that ensures all members remain officially authorized to practice.
