About Us

Delivering Quality, Revealing Excellence

SeaCrest Company is a group of experts that provide association management services, conduct organizational audits for associations to maximize resources, increase efficiency, and improve performance. SeaCrest’s focus is assisting certifying organizations to achieve third party accreditation.  

Our team uses their unmatched expertise and insight into accreditation for certifying agencies to benefit their clients.  Accreditation from an objective, third party has become increasingly important as certifying and governmental agencies seek to protect the public and ensure their programs meet quality standards of practice.

SeaCrest also offers expertise in organizational structure, policies and procedures, recognition, government relations, research, roles and responsibilities, marketing and communication strategies, membership/stakeholder relations, and customer service.

Services include developing strategies to achieve the recommendations outlined in the audit report and an option to work directly with a SeaCrest expert to implement them.  Our consultants use the SeaCrest core values of quality, professionalism, and efficiency to deliver tangible results.

"SeaCrest’s principals, Cynthia Allen and Janice Moore, have worked in senior positions with the National Organization of Competency Assurance (NOCA) and their accrediting arm the National Commission on Certifying Agencies (NCCA). Cynthia and Janice are experts in the NCCA accreditation process and how to develop programs that are consistent with those standards.

In addition to being experts in the field, they are professional, responsive and perform high quality work."

-Shannon Carter, Chief Executive Officer, Competency & Credentialing Institute

"I chose to work with SeaCrest because of the many years experience shared by the Executive Team. The team is talented and is comprised of very knowledgeable experts in their respective fields. The work was well done, efficient and thorough.  It took only 4 days to get a response – this was an unbelievably short period (this was much appreciated).  In addition, Janice Moore took additional time to review her comments with the PTCB team and provided ongoing support.  I have already recommended SeaCrest to other organizations."

- Kathleen Kline, Manager, Executive Affairs, Pharmacy Technician Certification Board

"Seacrest was one of several consulting firms we contacted, and the response from Seacrest was the most comprehensive and reasonable (cost-wise). Janice Moore was very professional, very responsive and very knowledgeable.  I don't believe we could have submitted our application in a timely manner without Janice's support and assistance. I would certainly recommend them!"

-Mike Wood, Executive Director, CADDTP
