Education
Subsciber members complete the Directors’ Education and Accreditation Program (DEAP), a short, intensive, and highly effective program that provides a clear understanding of the Board Director role. DEAP equips participants with essential knowledge in the key areas of governance and gives them the tools to meet their responsibilities to their organizations, stakeholders, and themselves with confidence and professionalism.
Graduates of the DEAP program earn the Accredited Director designation and are entitled to use the post‑nominal Acc.Dir. – a credential that signals credibility, competence, and commitment to good governance.
