JANAAC congratulates our Acting Chief Executive Officer, Cassetta Green, whose slogan, Promoting Quality, Building Trust Beyond Borders, was selected as the winning entry in the Institutional Slogan Contest hosted by the Inter-American Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC), of which JANAAC is a proud member.

The winning slogan was developed while Ms. Green served as Director of Strategic Planning, Business Development and Promotions at JANAAC. The slogan which will now form part of the IAAC’s brand identity reflects its mission, vision and values and encapsulates the impact of its work in advancing regional development and cooperation across the Americas through accreditation.

As the IAAC celebrates its 30th anniversary, JANAAC is honoured to be part of this regional accreditation community united by a shared purpose of strengthening quality infrastructure and building confidence in trade.
