Overview:
Geared toward grant researchers, writers, managers, and administrators who are considering the Grant Professional Certified (GPC) credential, this session will feature an informational overview of requirements for the certification and a panel discussion with three Washington-area grant professionals who will share their experiences seeking the GPC credential and its impact on their careers. The GPC credential is recognized as the standard for professional competency and ethical practices for the field of grantmanship and is the only known grant credential that covers the full lifecycle of the grant process. The GPC examination and certification processes are administered by the Grant Professionals Certification Institute (GPCI), an independent affiliate of the Grant Professionals Association (GPA).
