Mission Statement

 

The Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity, raising the level of education, ensuring uniformity, and promoting career success on a national basis in the wedding and special event industry.

For more than 26 years, the ACPWC has been dedicated to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity,raising the level of education, ensuring uniformity, and promoting career success on a national level in the wedding and special event industry.

While times may have changed, our mission has not! Creating a platform for training, education, certification and support for our graduates and members is still the primary goal of the Association. Our motto, “Members helping members to succeed”, was designed to promote camaraderie, creativity and contributions by our members through the Association.

ACPWC continues to support members’ businesses and personal growth and foster an atmosphere of high standards and ethical behavior in the wedding consulting industry. ACPWC fosters business development, continuing education, recognizes personal achievements, and has established a platform for success to elevate members’ businesses to the next level!

Each year ACPWC strives to provide a strong foundation for membership as well as new benefits. But an association is only as strong as its members. While some have enjoyed these benefits, many are not aware of all that membership provides. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to participate in the membership offerings. This year we have added healthcare and additional discount and revenue generating services. As a member of ACPWC, you are entitled to use these great benefits and resources to promote your business.

If you think you are not getting anything out of membership, ask yourself one question: Am I using the tools, discounts and services that have been provided? Membership is like a bank, the more you deposit, the more you can withdraw with interest. The value of membership far exceeds the cost, when accessed. So, bank on the ACPWC helping you secure a successful future of steady growth and business success.
