Volunteer as a Peer Reviewer

Peer Reviewers

Peer reviewers are trained individuals responsible for evaluating an organization's compliance with the Standards for Excellence.   Using a peer review process ensures that individuals with diverse opinions and expertise in the non-profit sector will review and judge the application packages, and that the outcome will be fair.

Peer reviewers restrict their opinions to documents, activities, policies and processes that are covered by the Standards for Excellence. This ensures that all organizations are being treated alike, and that any potential biases of Peer Reviewers are avoided.  Peer reviewers always have the opportunity to make suggestions to the Ethics Standards Committee for addition, deletion or revision of the existing standards. The next peer reviewer training will be held in March 2011.
