references

During our last class I asked our instructor what the licensing process would be like and he mentioned this whole "letters of reference". Does this need to be sent WITH the packet, and is there anything specific that you need to have someone write about in them? Our application packet inventory doesn't say anything about letters of reference...

Ahh this process, it's something new and different every day, isn't it?!

We just had to give the name and address of the references to our CW. She will mail info out to them about what she needs.

I think this varies by county though. Our county needed 4 and they could not be relatives. A friend a few counties over needed 3 and they could be relatives...
