We are visionaries and pioneers. We are entrepreneurs and association executives who started the first, full-service marketing firm for associations in 1979. For a long time we were the only consultants and facilitators shaping the national agenda for certification. We created and witnessed history as organization after organization started or reinvented their professional certification or program accreditation business. Since 1985, when the certification boom started, we have been the "go-to" guides and experts for associations and certification leaders who depend on The Communicators.
