About Janice Moore

Janice co-founded SeaCrest Consulting with Cynthia Allen in 2006 to serve as a resource for organizations seeking to build, improve, and grow certification programs. Leveraging 18 years of experience in the certification industry, including her previous role with the Institute of Credentialing Excellence (ICE) and the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), she serves as a strategic partner for organizations seeking to develop new credentials, improve existing programs, and achieve accreditation.

After working with clients across dozens of industries to develop their certification programs, Janice firmly believes that accreditation standards are an effective framework for improvement. Her understanding of the application and interpretation of accreditation standards and the workings of the NCCA, ANSI, and ABSNC accrediting processes is evident in the more than 200 successful accreditation applications submitted by SeaCrest.

Janice serves as a strategic planning partner to evaluate and improve clients’ major program areas helping set goals, assess feasibility, develop strong governance foundations, facilitate policy development, and design quality management programs.

In addition to volunteering throughout her community, Janice remains committed to the certification industry through a number of volunteer activities. She often presents at industry conferences (including ICE and ASAE), has participated on numerous ICE committees, and currently serves on the ICE Board of Directors and ICE Accreditation Services Council.
