Should you apply first, or start working through self-assessment first? What does a strong start look like? This Open Forum will explore how self-assessment fits into the overall accreditation journey and discuss the connection between preparing internally and formally applying. Whether your agency is just exploring accreditation or has been considering it for some time, this session is designed to help you think through those early decisions.
Join experienced panelists as they share how their agencies approached self-assessment. You will hear how they organized their teams and built internal understanding. Panelists will also talk through timelines, early expectations, and some of the challenges they encountered along the way. They will share what worked for their agencies and what they learned early in the process, so you can consider what might work best for yours.
