·         THE INDIVIDUAL OR INDIVIDUALS CONDUCTING THE INTERVIEW SHOULD MAKE NOTES ON THE PROCESS AND FORWARD THOSE ALONG WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO THE RIVER OFFICE.


 Credentialing
Once the interview is completed and all forms and financial obligations are completed, the applicant will be presented to the River Elders for appropriate action.
The applicant will be notified by phone and /or e-mail as to the Elders decision.
If approved, certificate of approval, Acceptance letter and other communications will be completed.
 
Other Notes

·         Approval or disapproval of credentials will be made without regard to race, sex, national origin, or Physical disability.
·         Credentials are renewed annually every January after a ministry update and current ministry reporting has been sent to and reviewed by the Elders of The River.
