Special Comment: 2020 is an NGJA election year – to participate in the regional and national elections and be eligible to vote you must pass the NGJA National Exam. Those who only take the JO exam and pass are not eligible to vote in regional and national elections.
Best regards,
Mike Juszczyk
NGJA President
