“Building on my experience as an accredited provider and volunteer engagement on two recent task forces, I am excited for the opportunity to support IACET on the Board of Directors. It is a dynamic and exciting time in continuing education and training, as IACET advances its thought leadership in such topics as Artificial Intelligence and Neurodiversity in CET, and Open Digital Credentials. An important part of being an accredited provider is demonstrating continuous improvement. These activities directly support our continuing education programs’ evolution to meet increasing demands for personalized learning and workforce upskilling. I look forward to supporting the industry’s continued adoption of the ANSI/IACET Standard for Continuing Education and Training, and these and other initiatives over the next three years.” — Gayle Claman, CAE
