B2: Journey to COA Accreditation: You’ve Got This!

You’ve got this! If you are taking your organization through COA accreditation for the first time or you are new to serving in the lead role for your organization’s reaccreditation, this workshop is for you.

We will walk you through the steps that are on the path to accreditation and talk about the process, the challenges, and how this journey can be enjoyable. It doesn’t need to be stressful—in fact—it shouldn’t be! After all, you are raising the bar for your organization and helping it be the best it can be. Presenters will share strategic planning tips and how to create useful logic models or enhance what current ones.

You don’t need to do this alone. There are engaging and fun activities to get staff and volunteers to join you and be excited about accreditation.

We will share our experiences working with organizations and how to achieve success. There will be time for questions and group interaction.
