AD-HOC INTEGRATION TEAMS HUB
As the SSPC and NACE comes together as one organization several ad-hoc teams have been established to help guide conversations and make decisions about the new organization. These ad-hoc teams are made up of both staff and members. All teams’ focuses are outlined below. Click on the links to see a list of participants on each team.
This page will be updated regularly with FAQs and be kept-up-to-date on ad-hoc team progress. Check back regularly for updates.

Branding FAQs
Certification Team
Both NACE and SSPC have robust, longstanding and internationally recognized certification and accreditation programs. We recognize the value that professionals and employers place on the credentials, and the pride displayed by the people and companies who earn them. The NACE-SSPC Task Group is focused on minimizing the disruption to the industry while maintaining overall program quality and continuity. To that end, the task group has agreed to the following:
- All current certification and accreditation programs will continue to be recognized and supported throughout the combination process.
- Where there are certification or accreditation programs that overlap, a member task force will be created to evaluate the programs and make recommendations to a program committee.
- Existing certification holders will be allowed to recertify into the continuing program.
- Financial burden or economic impact to certified and accredited parties should be minimized
Focus Area: Develop certification recommendations for review and approval by the Transition Team.
