How are you or your organization using AI in innovative ways in your CPE program to improve operations or education?

3. Strategies Supporting Accreditation Commendation Criteria
Are you a provider who has obtained commendation? What criteria did you apply for and how did you meet them?

4. Innovative Examples of CPE
Have you offered accredited CPE that goes beyond traditional lecture or slide-based learning? Share your experiences and successes with innovative educational formats (think podcasts, escape rooms, gamification, and more).

5. Tools for CEAs
Have you identified a specific tool, resource, or technology that has supported your role as a CEA, the accreditation process, or your ability to develop and offer CPE? Describe the tool or resource and demonstrate to fellow CEAs how it has added value to your role or program.
