We are looking forward to being in the region to share with all of our programs and potential programs the benefits of having international accreditation with the ACEN. We anticipate that the participants will have a better understanding of the ACEN processes as well as having an opportunity to work on their own program's materials. Look forward to seeing you in Thailand.
