Role and Responsibilities of Area Representatives

Area Representatives are the CPESC, Inc. representatives at the local level (typically state or province). They provide the link between Regional Council Representatives and CPESCs, CPSWQs and other individuals interested in the CPESC and CPSWQ programs within their local area.

Area Representatives are expected to stay up-to-date on CPESC and CPSWQ program including qualification requirements, In-Training requirements and professional development requirements. Area Representatives should maintain contact with the CPESC, Inc. Administrative Office and Regional Representatives and take the initiative to promote the CPESC and CPSWQ programs at appropriate opportunities. They should identify themselves and their locale as contacts for information about CPESC and CPSWQ in appropriate public gatherings. They should assist the Council Regional Representative in providing the Exam Review Courses and facilitating the proctoring of the CPESC and CPSWQ exams.

To maximize their effectiveness, Area Representatives should actively participate in state and regional chapters of the sponsoring organizations (SWCS and IECA) to promote CPESC, CPSWQ and related continuing education.
