CCIE Commissioner Nominations
CCIE is seeking a pool from which new Commissioners may be selected. For more information on nominating yourself or someone else, please contact Barb Shaffer, Chair of the Nominating Committee at barb.shaffer@ccie-accreditation.org.

Overview of the Commissioner Role
CCIE is dedicated to excellence in interpreter education through accreditation and peer-review of interpreter education programs.

CCIE promotes the professional competence of interpreter educators through fostering a comprehensive Self-Study Review process, measuring those efforts against a set of Academic and Organizational Standards, and conducting an on-site peer review of the applicant program.  The highest achievement an applicant program may receive is Full Accreditation from CCIE.

Commissioners play a critical role in this process. Commissioners are required to:
  • Attend monthly conference calls (2 hours in length)
  • Attend an annual day-long virtual meeting
  • Participate on at least one standing committee of CCIE
  • Participate in at least one Self-Study Rating & on-site visit every two (2) years (dependent on application volume)
  • Actively promote accreditation
  • Adhere to all policies and procedures set forth by CCIE​

CCIE will strive for diversity and to maintain a composition of respected experts such as, but not limited to:
  • Interpreter educator
  • ASL faculty
  • Public member (e.g. accreditation, legal, financial, or academic administration expert)
  • Interpreter practitioner
  • Interpreter education program administrator

​Expected Time Commitment
On average, a commissioner may spend approximately 8-10 hours a month doing the work of CCIE.  During the review process of a Self-Study this workload may increase to 15-20 hours per month. The term is three years and may be renewed.

​Application Process and Timeline
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis. To Apply, please submit the following items:
  • Letter of Interest
