NASPAA at the 2025 CHEA Annual Conference

The annual Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) Conference is always a valuable opportunity for higher education leaders to come together and discuss best practices. This year’s theme, Quality Assurance in an Era of Change: Reflect, Reimagine, Recommit, provided an opportunity for members of academia to engage in meaningful discussions. NASPAA was honored to participate in this event, with Fabiola Bachinelo, Chief Accreditation Officer, representing the organization among a distinguished group of professionals.

As a global accreditor of master’s degree programs in public service, NASPAA is committed to maintaining the highest standards of excellence in public service education. The CHEA conference served as an important platform to discuss the evolving landscape of quality assurance in higher education. Fabiola Bachinelo engaged in conversations surrounding insights on accreditation trends with peers in the field who similarly value advancing academic integrity.

We are grateful for the opportunity to engage in this dialogue and look forward to applying these insights to NASPAA’s accreditation efforts. We extend our appreciation to CHEA for hosting this event, and we remain committed to the ongoing pursuit of academic quality in higher education.
