 | ANA-MAINE CE Committee Individual Educational Event Application:
If you are planning an educational activity, you can apply for nursing contact hours, 45 days in advance of the event. Complete the application, submit to the ANA-MAINE CE Committee with payment, and then satisfy any criteria the reviewers cite during the review process. Your activity will be approved for two years and can be delivered as often as you like to as many learners as possible.

ANA-MAINE CE Committee Provider Unit Application:
If you are planning many educational activities during the next three years and wish to forego approval every time you plan and implement an activity, then consider the Approved Provider process. Once you are approved to function as an Approved Provider, you can deliver as many activities as you like to as many learners as possible for the three year approval period. Please feel free to take a look at the CE Provider application or contact the ANA-MAINE CE Committee before you embark upon this process.
