The NCDA Credentialing Commission is seeking applicants to fill two open positions to serve the constituents for the Certified Master of Career Services (CMCS), and the Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP).
The ideal candidate would hold the same NCDA credential linked to the credential role for which they are applying and would have an understanding of the basic tenets of assessment creation and evaluation.
The Commission is currently involved with several projects, including assessing the performance of key credentials as well as promoting the work of the Commission nationally and internationally.
Your Work as a Commissioner:
- The Commission meets remotely 6-10 times per year, along with meeting at the Global Conference yearly. Generally, one additional face-to-face meeting is planned, often in conjunction with one of NCDA’s Career Practitioner Institutes. All travel-related expenses for the meeting at the Global Conference will be the responsibility of each Commission member. NCDA pays travel to the Career Practitioner Institute. It is required that Commission members attend all meetings.
- Commission members are responsible for working on Commission issues as well as overseeing the area that they represent.
- Commission members spend a considerable amount of time working on related projects outside of meeting times, and work to (a) research and gather credible information, (b) advance special projects, (c) develop drafts of policies and procedures, and (d) serve on work groups related to the Commission’s mission, functions and needs.
Representatives must meet the qualifications for the credential and will serve a 3-year term.
Selection Process
Qualified applicants will be selected for membership on the Commission based on their application forms. The selection team will most likely also schedule a video conferencing interview session with you. Once selected by the Commission, your appointment must be approved by the NCDA Board.
Additional comments and questions regarding the NCDA Credentialing Commission can be directed to Charlie Raphael, Director of Credentialing, craphael@ncda.org.

Applications will be accepted until November 30, 2026.
Applications must be received by this date to be considered. We encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds to apply for these open positions.
