“Is it time we certified committee members?” Well, you’d have to be crazy… and there are certainly one or two I’d like to have certified.
But seriously, I think it is great that courses and self-education materials are available but they should not be compulsory. Most of the committee members I have served with did a fine job without formal training and diligently sought good advice or read more carefully when they had the good sense to know they needed to know more about something.
