If your organization is considering NCCA-accreditation for one or more of your programs, please join us for this introductory session about the Standards and accreditation process.  ICE staff member Elizabeth Grater will cover the essentials about the Standards and application process.  Sandy Friend, Director of Certification for the American Culinary Federation, and Valerie Browne, Associate Registrar of the Human Resources Professionals Association will then discuss their experiences and lessons learned throughout the application process.  This session is a great opportunity to hear from and ask questions of those who have already been through the process.
