Accreditation can feel intimidating, and it’s easy to get caught up in myths about what’s required. But the truth is, the process doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Once you understand what’s fact and what’s fiction, your team can approach both self-assessment and accreditation with clarity and confidence. Along the way, you’ll gain valuable insights into your agency’s strengths and uncover new growth opportunities.
Join us for this open forum featuring APWA staff, experienced evaluators, and representatives from agencies that have gone through the process.
Hearing directly from peers about their experiences can make accreditation feel more attainable. Bring your questions, gain clear insights, and see how accreditation and self-assessment can benefit your agency from the start. Our panelists bring valuable experience and perspective to the table, debunking myths and offering candid advice to help you better navigate your own accreditation journey.
