earn this designation, Debra passed a comprehensive exam on
labor and discrimination laws, as well as ethical practices in
the industry. Due to her passion and concern, Debra went

on a variety of topics involving employment and discrimination
laws and awarded participants, upon completion, with continuing
education credits (CEU & CLE). She
also worked on statewide industry conventions and conferences.
As Certification Chairperson & Trainer, Debra
worked with the National Association of Personnel Services in promoting
the "Certified Personnel Consultant" and "Certified
Temporary Staffing Specialist" certification program statewide. This
position involved coordinating the training and testing of applicants
at various locations across the state for two test dates per year

in the merger of the permanent and temporary state associations,
forming one association in 1997 known as the Ohio Staffing Services
