Accrediting Council
ACEJMC's member organizations represent educators and professional practitioners. ACEJMC Bylaws stipulate that industry member associations may appoint at least one representative to the Accrediting Council; educator associations appoint one to six representatives depending on their size.
The Accrediting Council is composed of representatives of professional and educational organizations, and three public members. The Council president is a non-voting member.
The Accrediting Council meets twice a year. It considers accrediting decisions at a meeting in the spring; the fall meeting is devoted to policies and other considerations. The Accrediting Council makes all final accrediting decisions.
