Earlier this summer, we shared a draft of the revised 2026 Standards for Accreditation. This Fall the Commission staff will host 2 virtual and 1-in-person meetings to provide feedback on the revised Standards. The membership will then approve the revised 2026 Standards for Accreditation at its business meeting on Friday, December 12, 2025. The new Standards will then go into effect July 1, 2026.

Virtual Meeting Dates:

· Monday, October 20, 2025, 10:00 am – 11:30 pm

· Tuesday, October 28, 2025, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
