Guidelines for editing the directory

  • You do not have to be CNVC-certified to be in the directory, but please try to clearly and accurately describe your level of experience and what you have to offer.
  • Update your information in the directory at least once per year. To make sure the directory stays up-to-date, please update your information at least once a year. (If your information hasn't changed since the year before, just update the date in the line "Date when I last updated this information: ".) Directory entries that are over one year old may be removed (by anyone).
  • Use caution when adding your e-mail address to the directory. Email addresses on web pages are likely to be picked up by spammers who will send you unsolicited email. A better idea is to include your phone number or your website address instead.
  • The directory is a community-maintained system, based on wiki technology. Wikis are designed so that there are no technological restrictions on what users can edit. That means that after you add your information to the directory, anyone else could edit it. Please only add/edit your own information in the directory, unless you have permission from someone else to add/edit their information. Also, occasionally check your information in the directory to confirm that it is still accurate. If you see something in the directory that appears to be vandalism or an error, please edit the directory yourself to remove (or fix) the vandalism or error.
  • Jacob Gotwals created the directory, but he is no longer involved in maintaining it.
