Encourage
Colleagues to earn Fellow
status (FACHE)
- First, please take
a few minutes to familiarize
yourself with the process of earning
the FACHE credential and
the project options so that you
can pass along the most up-to-date
information to your colleague. The
Credentialing
area of ache.org is
the best place to brush up on the
information.
- Send
an application to the potential
new member’s work or home.
You can download
an application or contact the Membership Division
at (312) 424-9400 or at membership1@ache.org to
request that an application be sent
directly to the individual. Don’t
forget to write your name on the
cover! If you prefer, you may request
that a brochure on earning Fellow
status is also sent to them. This
brochure is a short, colorful piece
that highlights the project options
and the reasons why some affiliates
earned the FACHE credential.
- Send
a link to the Credentialing area
of
ache.org for details on earning
Fellow status. Mention that this area includes
information on the process of attaining the credential,
details on the project options and other useful
information.
- Use
the Pathway
to Fellow guide. ACHE
has created sample
e-mail messages
that you can send
to your colleagues
who are currently
Member status and
are eligible to
attain their FACHE
credential. In addition,
we have created
a suggested timeline
and checklist to
help you keep track
of your contacts. This
guideline is especially
useful for ACHE
chapter and elected
leaders to encourage
advancement in their
areas.
- If you have earned your FACHE credential, share
your experiences on why you decided to earn the pinnacle of achievement.
This personal encouragement may be all the incentive a colleague
needs to pursue this status.
- The January 2005 issue of ACHE’s e-mail
Early Careerist Newsletter gives helpful
hints for garnering organizational support when
pursuing the FACHE status. Read through
this article yourself or send the link to your colleague.
You will need your ACHE ID number to access this area.
- Don’t forget to follow up!
Like all of us, your colleague may get busy and simply
forget to start the process to earn his or her FACHE credential.
Set a reminder on your calendar to follow up on this prestigious
goal.
