Things to remember to do before your recertification can be processed.  For those of you who have already completed these steps, Thank you.   Please remember to add your resume, Unfortunately the resume and photo does not come to me if you attached it to your recertification application.  If you are missing certain events on your badge it can be added during this time. Officials who were certified for the first time during 2024 will not have to recertify but you will need to make sure your membership, safe sport and background is current and all fees are paid.  Officials who would like to upgrade please send your upgrade application, resume, letters of recommendation and test questions (National/Masters) all at one time. You must meet the requirements listed in the USATF upgrade criteria before submitting the application.  All upgrades for Masters is in progress, the criteria must be met to be upgraded by the board.  Thank you for your patience regarding Master upgrades.
