Documentation of your professional development points (PDP) is your responsibility. You are responsible for inputting your PDP into the systems that your organization or licensure may require. IAACE can not perform that for you. IAACE often includes assistance within our events to aid your documentation; for example, see the 2021 Spring Virtual Institute,  2021 Conference, 2022 Conference,  2023 Virtual Institute, and 2023 Conference.

Talking with your supervisor is a great place to start if you have questions about a webinar or activity counting towards your professional development requirements.
