Did you just become Endorsed - Congratulations!!

If an endorsed professional submitted an application in 2024, they are not required to renew until 2027. This time will allow professionals to accumulate hours toward their Renewal Attestation, but they are required to keep their RIAIMH membership current annually.

For example, if an applicant becomes endorsed in September of 2024.  This professional will renew during the October -December 2027 renewal period.

Removal & Reinstatement if Endorsement® Lapses:

If a professional fails to update their RIAIMH membership and/or annual Endorsement® renewal by January 31st of any year they will be removed from the Endorsement® Registry (after multiple attempts on behalf of the RIAIMH to reach out and request updates).
