Accreditation of educational institutions is necessary to maintain and enhance the quality of education, ensure students' trust and encourage continuous improvement, foster global recognition, protect consumers, and promote accountability in the education sector.

Message from Dr Lisa Cavallaro, Executive Director

It’s hard to believe May is already here and we will be heading to Vail, Colorado in just a few weeks for at NAMA’s Annual Conference. We are looking forward to our participation in a discussion panel and in the exhibitors program. We’ll have a table set up all weekend and we can’t wait to meet more of our community in person, so please stop by!

In addition to the upcoming conference, we are hosting three virtual events in the coming month. The first, our AAC Candidate Program Forum will be held on Thursday, May 9th at 1 PM Eastern. Based on participant requests for ongoing support and networking, we are coming back together for policy updates, questions, and discussion. We’ve also planned a second Candidate Program Forum for Wednesday, June 5th at 4 PM Eastern. Representatives from candidate programs are welcome to attend one or both of these events. Please RSVP so we can plan for attendance.

Our other event is a follow up State/Local Organizations Gathering on Thursday, May 30th at 4 PM Eastern. Many great questions and ideas arose during our first meeting in February, as well as unanimous interest in creating quarterly meetings for discussion and collaboration. We are looking forward to continuing the conversation and welcoming new representatives to the table. Contact us if you haven’t received an email with more details and zoom link.

And a quick reminder: if you or your program/school/organization/business will be hosting (or know of any) an event this summer or fall, please reach out! We believe in the power of collaboration and would love to showcase the important work we are doing to ensure high-quality Ayurvedic education in the United States.

With warmest wishes,

Lisa Cavallaro, Executive Director
