Commission is an independent
not-for-profit
association established in June 1993 which
is located in suburban Maryland (Washington, DC).
The Commission provides information and
assistance to
national associations on development and improvement
of certification programs and designations in
numerous
professions and occupations.
Members consist of 150 associations offering more than
300 categories. The Commission is non-governmental,
not operated by a management firm, nor is affiliated with
product vendors; and offers objective, responsive, and
cost-effective advice to best serve national associations.
Association membership is $100 annually and includes
all certification
staff. ACA, BCA, CCA, and DCA
designations
are available for certification administrators
and committee members. There are complimentary
code of conduct
pledges for certification and association
administrators. National
accreditation approval is also
available for existing association certification designations.
Members (associations and individuals) receive weekly
the newsletter "Certification Communications"
containing
relevant articles, surveys, and
announcements.
Members may request previous articles and newsletters,
and readily receive responses to certification questions
and inquiries in
a timely manner.
