All member societies received their personalized NFCA Accreditation Program Excel file by e-mail. Please e-mail accreditation@nfcanet.org if you need it resent*.

This is a test of the program to give societies a head start in the process when the official program is launched in mid-2009. The first accredited societies will be recognized at the 2009 NFCA Annual Meeting for their Key Member status. As societies embark on the accreditation process, the NFCA will assist societies in keeping track of their progress; provide a resource library of information and templates on its Web site; and offer pertinent educational programs to help societies meet each standard.
