The organization strives to increase the professional credentials and recognition of those employed as community developers. The Council is not a membership organization. Its purpose is to establish professional standards through certification and training that will be recognized as valuable to both the community development practitioner and those who employ their services. The Council maintains a registry of Certified Community Developers in good standing.
