In 2009 as in 2008, association meeting time during which educational training takes place will be accepted toward the 6 hours per year needed for Cherokee Master Gardener recertification. Most meeting will have 30 minutes of such time.
One hour of volunteer service per meeting will be accepted toward the 12 hours per year of needed volunteer service time for recertification. It is felt that this encourages participation of trainees and interns, aids those who for health reasons can not take part in as many projects as the wish, and aids in sustaining ample volunteers.
Master Gardeners must submit record of service or training for recertification credit.
Should this be found to be limiting volunteer participation in community education programs it will have to be changed. Of course many other projects and trainings are acceptable.
