Notes from the ProctorU White Paper

Interview with James Wright, FAIBD

Join Steve Mickley, a long-time CPBD and chief staff officer at AIBD, as he interviews Rory McCorkle, Senior Vice President of Certification and Admissions at PSI Services LLC. For the Institute of Credentialing Excellence (ICE), Rory chaired an external stakeholders working group that studied the value of certification. The final report reflects data from 9400+ answering questions about the importance of certification, how it makes a certificate holder feel about themselves, how it affects getting a job and being compensated, and the top reasons why people become certified. If you're interested in becoming a building designer, want to earn your CPBD designation, or wish to hear some excellent career advice, this is the podcast for you. The final edited version of each monthly podcast is available at AIBD.org/podcasts, as are all of our past podcasts. Unfortunately, this is not the kind of program that qualifies for continuing education credits. Let's Talk Certification is a live recording of a podcast program hosted by the American Institute of Building Design. Registration is complimentary. Please forward this invitation to anyone you think might be interested. To participate, click the registration link and provide us with some necessary personal information. Registering once will include all future presentations. After registration, a unique link is sent to your email. Save this email and use the link to sign on a few minutes before each month's presentation. Everyone watching online may join the discussion using their personal computer's microphone, telephone link, or by typing questions directly to the moderator. For further instructions, contact the AIBD national office at 1-800-366-2423.
