2026 Hall Of Acclaim Virtual Induction Ceremony
Date & Time: Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at 10:30am ET
The Association for International Credential Evaluation Professionals (TAICEP) is proud to announce the latest distinguished leaders to be inducted into the 2026 Hall of Acclaim. The Hall of Acclaim was established to honor individuals who have made significant and lasting contributions to the field of international credential evaluation. This year, we celebrate those whose lifetime achievements—through research, mentorship, advocacy, and service— have helped shape the standards of our profession and fostered global mobility for students and professionals alike.
Our inductees represent the very best of TAICEP. Their dedication to ensuring fair and quality credential evaluation practices serves as an inspiration to our entire global community.
We look forward to celebrating their legacies together.
TAICEP’s Hall of Acclaim
This is a very special award program. TAICEP seeks to recognize past and present credential evaluation professionals who are pillars in our field and have made a significant contribution to the field over an extended period of time. In addition, and this is a special twist, TAICEP acts as a repository of an inductee’s lifelong personal and work history, pictures, and, where possible, provides access to articles, presentations, papers, books, and other relevant documents and videos for our profession to access in perpetuity.
We encourage nominations from all countries!
Hall of Acclaim Nominations
TAICEP may select more than one inductee each year. TAICEP actively seeks to include qualified inductees who represent a wide diversity of genders, race, ethnicities, sexual orientation, geographic locations, professional contexts, and life experiences.
