Each year The Conference Board of Directors appoints members of the National Board Exam Arts and Sciences Committees to serve a one-year, voluntary appointment. Committee members are dually licensed practitioners from across the country who are responsible for the development and maintenance of the items for the State and National Board Exams. These subject-matter experts provide general oversight of the licensing exam with an ongoing mission to maintain and review items at various stages of the exam development process.
The members of the 2021-2022 Exam Committee will be required to attend two virtual meetings: a Forms Review meeting in the fall of 2021 and an Item Review meeting in early 2022. Members who participate fully in both meetings may have an added option to attend the Annual Meeting in-person courtesy of The Conference (February 23 & 24, 2022).

Selection Process
Exam Committee members represent a diverse group of funeral service licensees. Previous experience in exam development is not required, as training is provided. Committee members cannot work directly with or have any immediate family members enrolled in any ABFSE accredited program and must also be willing to sign a confidentiality agreement. Please note that spots on the Exam Committee are very limited. However, if you are not selected we will keep your information on file for other opportunities in the future.
