What must division staff do after receiving a surrendered certificate?

When division staff receive a surrendered certificate, their responsibility is to present it to the board at the next available meeting. This step is essential as it ensures that the board is officially notified of the certificate's surrender and can take any further actions required regarding the certification status of the individual. The board needs to be involved in overseeing the processes related to certifications and any issues that may arise from them, ensuring that regulatory compliance is maintained.

Additionally, presenting the surrendered certificate to the board reinforces the importance of maintaining proper records and transparency in the certification process, as the board can review and make determinations based on the context of the surrender. Proper governance requires that such matters are formally documented and discussed in the appropriate forums.

Other choices may seem viable but do not fulfill the regulatory and procedural requirements. Simply filing or destroying the certificate without board involvement could lead to oversight and lacks adherence to the structured process needed in official governance.
