The Commission for Case Manager Certification (The Commission) is seeking a public member.
The Commission is the first and largest nationally accredited case manager certification organization, credentialing over 50,000 professional case managers and disability management specialists. The Commission is a nonprofit, volunteer organization that oversees the process of case manager certification with its CCM credential and disability management specialist certification with its CDMS credential. Offering an extensive portfolio of certification and professional advancement activities, the Commission is the most active and prestigious credentialing organization supporting the practices of case management and disability management.
Service on the Commission's Board of Commissioners provides individuals with an opportunity to help shape the future of professional case and disability management. The opportunity to work with other leaders in health care allows volunteers to be on the cutting edge of case management, disability management, and board certification. In addition, service on the Commission’s Board allows volunteers to be part of the decision-making process on a national level, driving the Commission’s strategic goals through effective governance.
Individuals who are elected as Commissioners serve three-year terms beginning in July 2025. Service on the Commission’s Board includes committee and task force assignments that are driven by strategic priorities developed by the Board. Commissioners serve as stewards of the organization, including governance, fiduciary and industry activities; while representing and endorsing the CCM and CDMS credentials and advancing board-certification.
