    As many of you know the NCED Registry was taken down for revisions during our new website development. Consequently, all NCED certificate holders have been removed from the NCED registry. If you would like to be included in the registry, please login to your member page and scroll down to the registry (bottom right of the page) and click on 'Yes, include me in the registry'. Then edit the information you would like included.
