TCIA Accreditation Update
Newly Accredited Facilities:
Treewise, The Organic Experts - Easthampton, New York - NY-015
Exciting Changes to the Accreditation
Program
1. New Accreditation CD Available.
Accreditation enrollees and even
accredited companies now have a greatly improved resource to improve
their business and help them get and stay accredited. We have finished
the first major revision of the Accreditation CD since the program
launched in July 2004. The new CD is easier to navigate and is
streamlined to help you find the guides and forms you may need. The
Auditor's checklist now has live links directly to the valuable
templates and guides.
It is now easier than ever to
review where your company stands and to get assistance from the
Accreditation program.
2. Flat fee offered
Paying for Accreditation
enrollment has now become easier and simpler than ever too. TCIA now
offers an annual flat fee to help companies budget for accreditation
fees. Enrollees can chose from the existing "pay-as-you-go" fees, which
require companies to pay most of the cost during the first year, or the
"flat fee," which allows companies to pay a flat annual fee. The fee is
averaged out over three years and covers all expenses.
The Accreditation program is
growing. Don't be left behind. There are 16 states without an
accredited facility; will you be the first in:
Alabama - Alaska - Arkansas - Hawaii - Kentucky - Louisiana -
Mississippi - Nevada - New Mexico - North Dakota - Rhode Island - South
Dakota - Utah - Vermont - Washington - West Virginia?
Remember. There are TCIA
Approved Auditors/Consultants to help and the Accreditation department
is available to answer your questions.
Big or small (32
percent of companies accredited or in the process of Accreditation gross
less than $500,000). On average it takes seven to nine months for a
company to get accredited. No difference in time for large/small
companies. Accreditation can work for you. Not sure? Call Bob Rouse.
He'll answer your questions.
