Dear Collin:

I certainly appreciate your concern. As a result of your posting, I have issued a clarification of the IAIRA certification process.

Wikipedia has been corrected with a clearer explaination of the IAIRA certification.

IAIRA will begin to offer a FREE certification letter upon request. The free version will be delivered via email as a PDF doc. A hard copy version of the letter will be sent with a fee of less than $10.00 plus postage. Keep in mind, the board of education, the bank, the DMV, all have a small fee associated with documents. It just covers our admin cost and gives us a little operating funds for the office staff.

The Certificates are simply a commemorative. They are a really nice, I mean very nice, certificate, transcript(on security paper), and presentation folder. No more or more less than framing a copy of your CD or a print-out of your chart. We charge $31.50 for the first one $11.50 for each additional true original. We do not offer copies only duplicate originals.

I certainly understand your concerns and would not expect you to participate in the activities any organization that is contrary to your beliefs or that is not in your best interests.
However, if after you have completed your due diligence you find that IAIRA is something that does fit your philosophy, Get involved!

Thanks for your comments. You help make us better.
