EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT
To assure that our conferences and programs are developed and conducted at the highest levels of
professionalism, they are accredited for CNE (Continuing Nurse Education) by the ANCC (American Nurses
Credentialing Center); for CME (Continuing Medical Education) for physicians by the ACCME (Accreditation
Council for Continuing Medical Education); and our certification program CCRP® (Certified Clinical Research
Professional®), by the NCCA (National Commission for Certifying Agencies of the Institute for Credentialing
Excellence). With 15,500+ members and approximately 12,000 CCRP® certified members, we hold to the
highest standards for clinical research professional development.
Our chapter program included more than 5,500 attendees during the last year (70 chapters and 167
meetings). Chapters are organized by volunteer leaders and volunteer presenters and their programs are
offered at no cost to attendees. Chapter programs are open to anyone interested in a topic (members and
future members), and continuing education credit certificates are available to SOCRA member attendees.
We appreciate your interest and involvement in clinical research and hope that you are taking advantage of
our programming as we strive for clinical research excellence.
Thank you for your support!
