Membership Designation Working Group

(There is no roster as this group finished its charge and has disbanded.)

This working group worked closely with the Membership Committee and the Education and Training Committee from December 2016 through December 2021 to review our membership categories and their respective application and evaluation processes. 

  • They have evaluated the needs of the membership, the demand for professional designations, and the current membership categories.
  • They have sent surveys and reviewed relevant data from prior surveys to identify current training, expertise and specializations of our membership.
  • They have reviewed, identified, and clarified eligibility criteria for a new professional designation, considering the impact on the organization and the changing professional role of the conservator as well as allied professionals.
  • They have have developed a proposal for maintaining professional membership through a continuing professional development.
  • They have evaluated how potential changes in the membership structure will impact our mission statement.
