		<description>Thanks for your views, and you are NOT the only one!  As an educator for the past 15 years, I have consistently been frustrated with the NCBTMB&#039;s focus on marketing rather than customer service.  It seems they are always on the wrong &quot;end&quot; of things.  After the board member shake-up a few years ago, I was optimistic.  Not now.

Perhaps if the focus were on making it easier to apply online, or allowing schools to transmit documents electronically (and managing to keep track of them), the customers (those 90,000+) would be strongly in support of their services.  

Now that they have competition, building upon their strong points could encourage those electing to take the MBLEX upon graduation to seek certification later on in their careers.  The last thing we need is more division in our profession, and a board of such magnitude needs to put our profession above its own profit margin.</description>

		<description>OH darn.  I am gluten free! 

Thanks for keeping us up to date on these important issues.  Why do people even renew that certification anyways?  Do they have to for licensing requirements?   I thought that was illegal or something.

I try to send everyone here to read your posts because it is just so unbelievable.  This kind of information really needs to get out there more.

Thanks
