CARF surveyors help benefit people's lives
CARF surveyors directly affect organizations' business practices, performance, and ultimately, the quality of service persons receive. They are also instrumental in the ongoing development of our standards and the accreditation process.
CARF surveyors accrue a number of significant and substantial benefits for themselves, their organizations, and the field.
Benefits for the surveyor:
- An opportunity to learn from other providers
- A chance to contribute to the quality of services in companies
- Recognition of personal achievement and excellence in the field
- A chance for professional networking
- Training and continuing education opportunities
- Complimentary registration fees at most CARF-sponsored events
- Free CARF publications, including standards manuals
- An opportunity to travel both domestically and internationally
Benefits for the surveyor's organization:
- New ideas gained from surveying
- An occasion for innovations to be shared with others
- Exposure to national and international trends in the field
- A staff member who is up-to-date with changes in the field and the CARF standards
Benefits for the field:
- Peer review based on field-responsive standards that ensure quality services
- The exchange of ideas and practices
CARF is committed to ensuring diversity among its surveyors. Diversity allows CARF to match the characteristics of its surveyors to those of the organizations being surveyed and, more important, is emblematic of CARF's values. CARF is particularly interested in surveyor diversity with respect to disabilities, culture, age, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, socioeconomic status, and language.
