Accreditation and Membership Recruitment Committee

Chair: Robyn Puryear | Vice-Chair: Quadon McCullough

The Accreditation and Membership Recruitment Committee supports the quality and consistency of VAISEF’s accreditation process and helps prospective members understand membership and accreditation requirements. Members review site review reports and findings, identify resources for facilities preparing for accreditation, and make accreditation recommendations to the Board of Directors. The committee also supports outreach to prospective member facilities. This committee is a good fit for leaders and staff interested in standards, compliance, program evaluation, and continuous improvement.

Member time commitment: Service requires a substantial commitment that varies by assignment. Responsibilities may include committee meetings, training, document review, preparation, and reporting. Members assigned to site review teams may also need travel time and one to two full days for a site visit.
