"Since I earned the Certified Educational Facilities Professional (CEFP) credential, I have enjoyed the credibility and acknowledgement that comes with it. I am working with higher levels of management throughout our organization and have a welcomed and accepted voice at the table. Had it not been for this credential, I do not believe I would have been working at these echelons of our organization."
