A Word or Two about NLSA Consultants

A word or two about consulting….NLSA school accreditation consultants play a critical role in a school’s pursuit of accreditation. The consultant focuses all of his/her effort on the school, its accreditation process and a successful conclusion. Consultants stand alongside of the school throughout its self-study process; encouraging, reviewing, making suggestions and ensuring success. The NLSA consultant is the school’s advocate and is totally committed to a successful completion of a process.

Consulting is a two way street. Most NLSA consultants have a full-time job that consumes the majority of the time and effort. Therefore much of the initiation relating to the consultant-school conversations begins from the side of the school working through its process. It is the school accreditation leader’s job to ask questions, submit drafts for review and carefully consider every suggestion presented by the consultant. Since an assigned consultant is an NLSA “expert” with a proven track record and much practical experience, a school that does not consult,is placing its accreditation process at risk.

NLSA is unique in providing an experienced accreditation consultant to work alongside of the school throughout the process. Consultants are eager and willing participants. But the school must initiate contact.  Don’t delay.  Contact your consultant and CONSULT, CONSULT, CONSULT!
