Los Angeles, Calif — Business U’s Co-founder and CEO, Dr. Christine Bosworth (pictured below) has been appointed to serve on the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) Board of Directors. IACET is a third-party accrediting agency that ensures providers of continuing education and training (CE/T) have completed rigorous audits that meet the ANSI/IACET 2018-1 Standard addressing the design, development, administration, and evaluation of learning programs.

Business U earned its IACET institutional accreditation in 2015 achieving a standard of excellence through a rigorous 18- month process. Since then, Business U has applied the Standard to its signature Business Engagement Boot Camps®, B2B Engage® CRM technology and professional development certification courses.

Dr. Bosworth stated, “I am honored to be part of a board of directors that has as its chair the learning director for the Society of Women Engineers, along with other leaders across the nation, including the board’s treasurer who is a senior advisor in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health with the Department of Labor, a federal organization that drives much of the work that we do at Business U. It is with deep appreciation of IACET’s commitment to excellence that I look forward to collaborating with my board colleagues in support of its mission.”
