"In this highly competitive talent landscape, businesses and employees place tremendous value on the acquisition of new skills and opportunities for ongoing learning," said 2018-2019 CRP® Certification Review Board Chairman Michael J.

The CRP® program was introduced in 1990 to formally recognize individuals who demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the principles and practices of U.S. employee relocation. More than 11,000 individuals have earned the credential since its inception. CRPs® retain their designation by maintaining membership in the association and earning 30 recertification credit hours within each three-year period following their initial certification, ensuring they remain current on evolving industry trends.
