Participating in the Designation Program is not simply a one time commitment. By deciding to participate, you undertake an on-going commitment to professional growth. Two program levels have been created for you; Designation Level I and Designation Level II. After successful completion of the Designation Level I requirements you can apply to Level II, and after successfully completing Designation Level II you can elect to participate in a five year renewal program. Successful completion of each program will be recognized at the next Educational Support Professional Conference with a plaque, pin and certificate of completion signed by the President of Illinois ASBO.
