The Family and Community Development Specialist credential has been a meaningful title for the Illinois Community Action Network since 1994. Since then, over 2000 individuals representing almost every member agency have received the FCD Specialist credential.
The FCD Specialist certification is good for five years. Recertifications are a one-day focused training about an essential FCD skill. This training is focused on goal- setting and ROMA.
All participants must submit a reflection journal after the conclusion of the training. More information about the journal will be shared the day of the training.
