USAG Background Check Information

 

USAG is now ready to begin the background screening process. The information will be posted on the USAG website and the MD website will have info as well.  There will be links on the site in various places such as women’s program pages. This will link back to the member services site.  I have attached several of the documents that USAG has sent out regarding this subject.

For now it is important for you to know the following: Screening will be required for all December professional members. The requirement will then continue month by month.

Ø      Beginning November 12, 2007 all new members will have to complete the background screening prior to receiving a professional membership. Members whose membership expire in December must complete the screening prior to December 31, 2007. Once background is complete and the safety is current, they will receive the renewal of the professional memberships.

Ø      Every following month the same rule will apply. That is Members who expire in January must have the screening completed by January 31 and so on until we go through the roll-out of all 12 months.

Ø      Any member may go through the screening process at any time prior to their membership expiration. If a member wishes, or their employer wishes, that they get the screening done in advance, they may do so.

Ø      The anniversary date of the background screening will be 2 years from the initial screening.  This date does not have to be tied into the membership renewal date. However safety and screening must always be completed prior to the membership expiration.

Ø      The screening process will be made available to all clubs, for their employees, within the very near future.

 

Thank you for your kind understanding and patience with this most important matter.
