CPD Sponsors and Providers The recently enacted CPD rules place significant responsibility on pre-approved sponsor/providers to offer and approve acceptable CPD activities. These pre-approved sponsor/providers include: Louisiana Engineering Society Colleges or universities Louisiana Society of Professional Surveyors Federal, state or local government agencies Per Section 3103 the Board may approve additional Sponsors/Providers; however, the Board urges all interested parties to contact one of the pre-approved sponsors through which they could coordinate and sponsor their programs. The pre-approved sponsors would allow greater visibility within the engineering and surveying communities. It is anticipated that these sponsors will be offering a CPD web site to advertise available CPD activities. You may claim non-sponsored or unapproved activities; however, you must insure that you maintain documentation adequate to substantiate the contents of such activities. Be careful about video, web, or correspondence courses.
