A New Partnership with Certemy

ABC is excited to announce a new partnership with Certemy, a certification management software company. Certemy’s instantly configurable software is for professional certification boards and associations who wish to automate a manual, paper-based certification program — or replace custom certification management software that is too difficult or expensive to change.

With Certemy, we will be able to process certification applications and renewals for the Professional Operator and ABC Voluntary certification programs faster and easier while reducing costs and expanding functionality. We will be able to drive efficiency through automation. Build trust through transparency. Add or change any aspect of our certification programs in minutes without IT staff or custom programming. Certemy will proactively guide professionals through the certification process, step by step, so we can spend more time analyzing data and managing exceptions. Our applicants will love the online application process and ease of use, as well as the Digital Wallet, so that all of their documents are just a click away.

We are excited to launch both programs on this web-based software this fall!

Some things we love about the platform:

We can host both the ABC and PO programs, allowing us to go paperless for the previously paper-only ABC Voluntary program.
More reporting features built-in, as well as the ability to create custom reports
A registry of our professionals updated in real-time that we can embed on our website, making it easier to know who is currently certified
Allows the reviewer to log in as the professional and see what they are seeing
Continual updates hosted by the platform, at no additional cost to us
Easier step-by-step applications, with a clearer distinction between exam and reciprocity applications
Notifications are sent on a recurring basis when certifications are close to the expiration
A digital wallet for both programs, so that the professional has access to all of the documents they have uploaded, as well as copies of their certificates issued by us, anytime, on their phone or computer-tech/website support by Certemy for any issues the professional or ABC may have.
More, and easier, customization of all fields held in Certemy. Anything on our side can be changed in a matter of minutes.
User guide to help answer commonly asked questions, as well as a team at Certemy available for phone support for our candidates.

November Meeting Minutes

You can find the draft meeting minutes from our November meeting here.

Certification Commission for Environmental Professionals Updates

The Certification Commission for Environmental Professionals (C2EP) will have exciting updates in 2025. We are pleased to have Alison McGee, Molly Price, Ben Wright, Andrew O’Neill, Shantelle Clarke, and Darin LaFalim join the Commission. As we move forward with new initiatives, we welcome new minds to the table and look forward to the ideas they bring. We would also like to thank John Solvie, LeAnna Risso, Lonn Rassmussen, and Cheryl Capron for continuing to contribute to the Commission in new roles.

Paper Giveback

After calculating how many trees our office goes through in a year, WPI has decided to donate to One Tree Planted on an annual basis. Not only will we donate enough to cancel out our annual usage, but we have a five-year plan to plant enough trees to counteract our usage over the last 52 years that the association has been conducting business. Beyond that, we look forward to continuing our partnership with One Tree Planted and doing our part to protect the global environment.

WPI Audit

You can review the 2023 audit here.

WPI will be changing the traditional audit process this year by moving to a financial review. This process has been found to be beneficial for associations and is a more affordable option. Once the review is complete, the findings will be available on the CEO Dashboard.
