Region I PIE Sponsor Organization What is PIE Sponsor Organization? Sponsor Organizations are organization members of PIE (as defined in the Bylaws) that are capable of creating and maintaining a self-sufficient Continuing Education (CE) program. CE Sponsor Organizations approve their own training internally and maintain all records at their offices. Sponsor Organizations follow approved written procedures which govern the conduct of their internal CE Program subject to audit by PIE. We spent 5 years planning and assembling the 130 page application form. In August 2013 we submitted our application to PIE with the anticipation of being returned for revisions. On September 19, 2013 we were accepted as probation pending our first year audit. We have spent the last 6 months preparing for the roll out for the program.
