    It is the licensee's responsibility to make sure that all continuing education programs completed for license renewal are NAB approved. The Board suggests that you confirm with sponsors that programs you are interested in attending have been approved by NAB. If you have any doubts about the approval status of the programs, please contact NAB at (202) 712-9040, or visit their website at www.nabweb.org.
