Re: IAAP certified Web Accessibility Specialist exam (and CPACC)

The IAAP officially launched March 2014, but it had been in the works many
years before that. There are a lot of steps that go into launching a
professional organization, so it takes time to do it right. Certification
through IAAP has been available since March of 2016, so that's relatively
new (certification is another thing that takes time to do right), but it is
gaining traction, and becoming an important part of the accessibility
profession.

As for my own role in all of this, I've been the Chair of the Certification
Committee since even before the IAAP officially launched. We are in the
process of transitioning to a slightly different Certification Committee
model, so my role will evolve there, but I'm still very much involved.
