Make the most of your time at the I.C.E. Exchange and connect with your fellow credentialing professionals at these engaging networking opportunities.
“I encourage individuals serving on boards, and staff of, credentialing agencies to attend the I.C.E. Exchange because it's a great opportunity to network with varying lenses of credentialing, learn best industry practices, and apply their experience to professional development and improving credential and business operations for their organizations.” - Misozi Houston, National Commission for Health Education Credentialing Inc.
