Candidates must fulfill multiple requirements that include academic and experiential criteria, continuing education credits, and professional and community involvement, in addition to passing a comprehensive exam. Michelle will officially receive her FACHE credential at ACHE’s 85th Annual Convocation Ceremony on March 3.
