The inaugural I-PAC Conference is fast approaching! Plenty of training topics will be covered, including ILEAP and mock assessment prep.

I-PAC Conference and Accreditation Manager Certification

• The ILEAP Council has decided a certified, standardized course was needed to train new and existing Accreditation Managers.  
• This course is available at the I-PAC conference for the low price of $210, which gets you into the conference. More information here.
• Plans to replicate the training 2-4 times a year are in the works, but again, …don’t pass up the I-PAC conference.
• This course will cover everything you need to use Power DMS, manage the assessment, history of ILEAP, theory behind accreditation, and all matter of information.

ILACP and ILEAP are looking for 25 agencies to participate in the COPS grant.  Essentially, we have crafted a fool-proof plan to remove financial roadblocks and reduce the administrative footprint of ILEAP, Tier 2 accreditation.   

Grant Opportunity:

            i.          To be eligible for the Grant Opportunity, your agency must be a “new” accreditation (no existing accredited agencies, sorry).

            ii.         Agency must be “small or rural”, which means less than 150k in population served.

            iii.        Agency must pursue Tier 2 level accreditation.

            iv.        The agency must attend the Accreditation Manager Certification course in 2023.

                                    a.        The earlier the better. We cannot stress this enough, 25 agencies will fill fast.  

                                    b.        I-PAC Conference is the best avenue to attend this training as we can't promise we can replicate it for less then $210 bucks for two days of training.

            v.         The ILACP will reimburse the agency the Tier 2 fees ($800) for the first year.

            vi.        The ILACP will reimburse the agency Power DMS Accreditation module ($550-$650) the first year.

            vii.       The ILACP will reimburse the agency an I-PAC membership ($100) for the first year.

            viii.      The ILACP will provide regular webinar training to keep agencies tracking on being complete within a certain timeline.

So, if you know of agencies feeling out accreditation, let them know there is no better time than now to do it for practically free and the ILEAP staff will help walk you through it.
