November 12, 2007—ISSA has certified the latest group of individuals as official ISSA Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) Experts. This addition brings the total number of experts to 90 individuals representing 25 US states and Canadian provinces as well as Mexico.
Becoming a certified CIMS Expert positions an individual to provide training or consulting services to those cleaning organizations interested in complying with the Standard and preparing to certify to CIMS—a new consensus-based industry standard that sets forth the universally accepted management principles that have proven to be the hallmarks of well-managed and customer-centered cleaning organizations, explains ISSA.
To become a CIMS Expert, professionals within the cleaning industry must attend a one-day workshop and pass an examination regarding the management elements contained in the Standard. The CIMS Expert designation is earned by and applies to an individual professional and not to an entire organization.
Although there are no remaining CIMS Expert workshops scheduled for 2007, additional workshops will be conducted in 2008. For more information about certification or the 2008 schedule, visit ISSA’s Certification Experts Web page. A full listing of CIMS Experts and their contact information is also available.
