Program fees for this year have increased to $20.00 for Minnesota Chapter Members and $25.00 for non-members. The student member cost will remain $15 for this season. Program fees are used primarily to cover meal costs. Fees are also used to help pay travel costs for some presentations.
Membership dues are essential to a thriving chapter. Membership is not mandatory for our programs, but always encouraged. With our program costs discounted for members, consistent attendance at the meetings will cover most of your chapter dues as well a provide a total of 8 contact hours for the purpose of maintaining your Minnesota State Contractors license and NICET certification.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
Our monthly programs continue to be recognized by the State of Minnesota for continuing education hours applicable to some licensing requirements. The State Fire Marshal's Office requires written documentation verifying attendance. For additional information and a current list of presentations in our library, contact Steven Peterman
Library of past presentations
In the days of yore, our chapter went through a period of recording many of the chapter meetings and presentations and the resulting library of VHS tapes had been handed down from President to President until one of our very excellent members, Ike Evans, offered up his services to convert them to a digital format. These videos have now been added to our very own MN SFPE Youtube channel and you can access them by following this link. Enjoy!
