Tom Flood, assistant director of physical plant and director of landscaping and grounds at Elon, has received the Certified Educational Facilities Professional credential from APPA.
APPA, the association dedicated to leadership in educational facilities, announced in September that Tom Flood received Certified Educational Facilities Professional (CEFP) credential.
The CEFP is a way to validate the unique knowledge and competency required of an accomplished professional in the educational facilities field.
“By obtaining the CEFP, it assures the individual and their institution that they have established a thorough and applied understanding of the best management practices related to educational facilities,” said J. Thomas Becker chairman of APPA’s Board for Educational Facilities Professionals Certification. “Our CEFP recipients and their institutions have also committed to an ongoing program of professional development that will further assure cutting-edge relevancy going forward. The APPA CEFP is quickly becoming the industry standard for leaders within educational facilities.”
In addition to his work at Elon, Flood, assistant director of physical plant and director of landscaping and grounds, spent many hours preparing for the credentialing exam.
“The CEFP credential is an exciting new standard for educational stewardship. It represents core knowledge, talent, and skill, underscoring accountability and commitment to growth and mastery,” said Lander Medlin, APPA executive vice president.
