Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Job Training
Mission: The mission of the nrwa, a nonprofit trade association for professional resume writers, is to increase the visibility of the industry, encourage ethical practices, promote excellence, and raise industry standards through peer mentoring and training.
Programs: In keeping with the mission of the nrwa, the focus was on creating the preeminent standard within the resume-writing community. Through the dedication of pat kendall and the certification commission, a multi-step certification process was developed. The nationally certified resume writer (ncrw) credential encompasses basic knowledge, writing, and strategy. Pat guided the program until becoming president in 1996. Sally mcintosh assumed the role of certification chair until 2008 and through the efforts of many certification commission volunteers the program continues to thrive, certifying the best resume writers in the industry.
the nrwa was the first resume writers organization to actively seek out member input in their annual conference planning, including program development, fee structures, and location selection. The first conference (chicago, 1998) was chaired by judy friedler and kathy keshemberg and drew more than 80 people, at the time probably close to 40% of the membership. Over the years, due to the hard work of conference planning committees, the nrwa conference consistently has been the most affordable in the industry, time and again surpassing attendees' expectations and providing something of value to each and every attendee, whether they have been in business for one year or 20 years.
