Be an early bird for exciting opportunities this fall! The ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), will host an in-person Credentialing Conference — an event that combines ANAB’s popular Client Day with three days of technical workshops — Sept. 25-28.

The conference, hosted at George Washington University’s City View Room, will provide opportunities for continued growth and learning as well as information sharing from experienced experts.

Client Day on Sept. 25 is free and open to ANAB-accredited clients, providing an opportunity to hear from credentialing committees and assessors.

Interested stakeholders may submit speaker proposals online.
