•  Governance

•  Legal Issues

Sara joins over 600 industry professionals to complete the course, including AACE’s Credentialing Analyst, Valerie Smith.  When asked about her experience, she states, “The Credentialing Specialist Certificate program was extremely valuable for my role in the certification department.  The hands-on experience I have gained since working for AACE built the foundation of my certification knowledge.  After the completion of the program, I have a broader knowledge of accreditation standards as well as policies and procedures.  This learning experience is not only beneficial to my day-to-day tasks, but has also given me the skills and knowledge to assist in the further maintenance, development and growth of the certification department.” 

Please join us in congratulating Sara and celebrating this exciting accomplishment.
