The EAGLE Accreditation Commission is composed of approximately fifteen members who operate on a voluntary basis. Members serve a three-year term with no more than two consecutive terms. They are both concerned for and committed to the continual improvement and expansion of this unique, faith-based accreditation process. The responsibilities of these dedicated commissioners are to:
- Develop the EAGLE standards and make adjustments or revisions in accordance with emerging industry trends and accepted best practice standards;
- Develop and implement assessment and training programs for peer reviewers;
- Receive requests to participate in the accreditation process, and delegate detailed processing duties to the EAGLE Commission staff;
- Receive Peer Review Team reports and annual organization operating reports, and then assess and act upon these documents to grant, deny, suspend, defer, remove or continue accreditation status;
- Continually monitor accredited organizational compliance with EAGLE accreditation principles, goals and self-assessment elements, and;
- Carry out other administrative, promotional, collaborative, and policy related actions necessary to operate the process.
