The National Talent Board™ is governed by a Board of Directors responsible for setting strategic direction, maintaining credentialing standards, and ensuring the integrity of the CTD™ designation.
The Board operates through three standing committees:
Oversees the CTD™ Competency Framework, assessment methodology, and passing standards. Reviews and updates the competency framework annually. Ensures assessments are valid, fair, and aligned with current industry practice.
Administers the Code of Professional Ethics. Investigates complaints, conducts hearings, and recommends disciplinary action when warranted. Maintains the integrity of the credential through enforcement.
Evaluates and approves preparation programs seeking recognition as CTD™-aligned. Ensures approved programs adequately cover all six competency domains and meet instructional quality standards.
All Board members and committee members must disclose potential conflicts and recuse themselves from related decisions.
Board members serve two-year terms, renewable once, with staggered rotation to ensure continuity.
The Board solicits public input during annual competency framework reviews.
Board meeting minutes, policy decisions, and competency framework updates are published on this website.
