Board Recognition Statements and Badges for promoting activities registered for MOC.

We must use each board’s recognition statement to designate activities that offer MOC credit and must communicate to learners how many and what type of MOC points or credits can be earned by completing the activity. This statement must be provided to learners prior to the start of the activity, and must be included on any activity, registration, or promotional materials (excluding general “save the date” communications).
