An Update from IAIDQ's Certification Program
Heather Richards
July 2010: IDQ Newsletter Vol 6 Issue 3
On the weekend before the IDQ conference (June 5-6, 2010), fifteen experts in the information quality profession met in San Diego with the goal to sign-off on the questions that will form the basis of the certification exam. After twenty hours in meeting, this group succeeded in reviewing, validating, referencing and cataloguing in excess of 400 questions for the exam.
It is also important to acknowledge the other twelve IAIDQ members who made it possible to reach this milestone. While they could not attend in person, they wrote almost half of the exam questions that were reviewed.

Kudos goes to this entire group in meeting a critical milestone of the IAIDQ certification program!
