If you are a
member of the NCP Membership Group… whether as an NCP-Candidate,
NCP, or NCP-Executive… your membership expired on December 31,
2011 unless you submitted your renewal. If you haven't taken
care of your renewal yet, don't fret... there is still time!
Trust me, I
completely understand that year-end and the holiday season can
be a time killer putting you way behind. Next thing you know it
is the beginning of the year and you are off and running with a
whole new set of “to-dos”. It is easy for things like this to
fall between the cracks. That is why, even though your
membership has expired, I give extra time to make it current. I
am fully aware that it isn’t your fault this happened. Life…
work… your responsibilities in the Tax Credit world… just got in
your way.
But it’s time! Time to put your
professional development and credibility first!!
You’ve worked
incredibly hard to earn your NCP designation. You know the value
it brings to you not only in regular updates, fantastic tools,
an incredible annual conference and the confidence of being part
of an elite group of professionals who care about compliance,
but also in its sheer value it brings to those working with you
when they see the N… C… P… behind your name and realize you know
your stuff!
In the other
notices I have sent you, I gave you 3 different renewal options
that you could choose from… Regular,
Silver, and
Gold. It makes no differences
to me which option you choose! I want you to do what is right
for you. I only provide the different options as a way for you
to pick up other helpful tools along with your 2012 membership
that will help reduce your stress and have a successful
compliance year.

As a member of the
NCP Membership Group you will be kept abreast of all the
changes happening whether on the Hill, at the IRS, in your
State or with the NCP Membership Group itself. We will keep
you in the know of the latest opinions, rule-changes and
important industry events. We do this through our Industry
Update emails sent directly to you anytime any industry news
occurs, special industry events are announced, and membership
updates occur.
-
Without a constant influx of information, you can’t
successfully run your properties and ensure compliance.
However, we won’t bog you down with useless information… we
will weed through the piles of information and pare it down to
the items of real importance to you! And when we communicate
to you, it will be in short, concise writing as we know you
don’t have time to read pages and pages. You need to get right
to the heart of the matter! Also, if the news item we are
reporting is about a new regulation, we will read it for you
and translate it so you don’t have to read through miles of
gobbly-gook! (Now of course, if that is what you like to do,
we do also give you the actual regulations so you have them
for yourself.)

As a member you
will have numerous networking opportunities and abilities to
connect with your peers. We understand that it is important
not to operate like an island in this industry especially when
there is a wealth of information and experience contained

you connect through…
