OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The Board of Certification/Accreditation’s President and CEO Claudia Zacharias, MBA, CAE, has announced her plans to retire at the end of 2022. “It is an honor to conclude my professional career as BOC’s CEO,” she said. “I’m electing to retire in December, which aligns with my personal retirement goal timeline and enables a deliberate, thoughtful and disciplined transition for BOC. I am confident of the organization’s continued success as I embark on my next life chapter.” During Zacharias’ tenure, BOC’s facility accreditations increased by an average of 30% each year and BOC’s certification program successfully transitioned from a cost center to a profit center. She also spearheaded new service additions, including the Certified Durable Medical Equipment Specialist certification, which now recognizes professionals working in 40 states and Bermuda. “I’ve worked with Claudia during the majority of her time at BOC, and her passion and dedication to the organization is remarkable,” said BOC Board Chair Wayne Rosen, BOCP, BOCO, LPO, CDME, FAAOP. “She is leaving a legacy of financial stability and disciplined investments, and a capable team to facilitate a seamless transition process and to continue our growth trajectory for years to come.” BOC plans to announce Zacharias’ successor later this year.
