Accreditation evaluations can feel overwhelming if you’re not sure what to expect. But with the right preparation and insight into how the process works, your agency can approach the evaluation with confidence. So, what really happens during an evaluation, and how can you prepare for it? Evaluations are more than just checking boxes. They’re a chance to show the great work your agency is doing, get professional feedback from experienced peers, and demonstrate your commitment to excellence.

When your team knows what evaluators are looking for and understands the process, it can reduce stress and encourage confidence for your team. From the opening meeting to the exit meeting, preparation makes a significant difference in highlighting your strengths and addressing any areas for improvement.

Join us for this open forum featuring experienced evaluators and representatives from agencies who have been through it themselves. They’ll share practical tips, lessons learned, and strategies to help you get ready for your agency’s evaluation. Find out what evaluators are looking for, how to organize your documentation, and ways to encourage your team throughout the visit. Bring your questions, gain worthwhile insights in this free virtual session, and register now!
