The Chief Executive Officer
The chief executive officer is expected to provide active leadership and ensure continuing support for the process. Additionally, he or she is responsible for the following:

• Reviewing progress reports and providing feedback.
• Informing the institution’s governing board on a periodic basis concerning matters related to the review.
• Assuring on-going compliance with the Principles of Accreditation and with Commission standards,
policies, and procedures during the intervening years of reaffirmation.
The Accreditation Liaison
Each institution is required to have an accreditation liaison; this person is normally someone other than the chief executive officer. This individual has an important role in the review process. In the intervening years between accreditation reviews, the accreditation liaison is also responsible for ensuring the timely submission of annual institutional profiles and other reports as requested by the Commission. With the chief executive officer, the accreditation liaison is responsible for the accuracy of all information submitted to the Commission and for ensuring ongoing compliance with Commission standards, policies, and procedures beyond reaffirmation.
