Credentialing: an industry advantage
Article Abstract:
The efforts of Congress to transfer public housing responsibilities from the federal government to state, local and private authorities is compelling the assisted housing industry to operate in a less regulated, more competitive and constantly changing market. In such an environment, the industry can survive if it formulates standards of excellence for professionals involved in housing and community development programs. This ensures that these individuals are complying with standards of professionalism and technical competence. Credentialing is one recommended method of achieving quality assurance. It helps employers attract and retain good employees. Employees also benefit because it helps them look for better jobs at higher pay. Credentialing also helps the industry by increasing knowledge and enhancing training delivery and quality.

Article Abstract:
The collecting of photographs began with the invention of photography itself in the 19th century. In the 1840s and 1850s the spread of the photographic movement in France and England fostered the desire to collect photographs that were perceived to have artistic value. Early collectors tended to be wealthy aristocrats who had the time and money needed to assemble collections. Later, museums and institutions began to acquire collections. Exhibitions have helped increase the popularity of collecting.
