Is one of your resolutions for 2019 to become a Nationally Certified ROMA Implementer?
Are you committed to having a high performing agency that meets the needs of the community that you serve?
Do you want to ensure that your agency meets CSBG Organizational Standard 4.3, which states, “The organization’s Community Action plan and strategic plan document the continuous use of the full Results Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) cycle or comparable system (assessment, planning, implementation, achievement of results, and evaluation)…and documents having used the services of a ROMA-certified trainer (or equivalent) to assist in implementation.”
Do you want to bring the ROMA cycle to life in your agency, but do not want to be a ROMA certified trainer?
If you answered YES to the questions above, then the new level of ROMA certification-Nationally Certified ROMA Implementer- may be for you!
The ROMA Implementer will be charged with providing information at his/her own agency to further develop understanding throughout the agency related to what needs to be done to fully implement the Results Oriented Management and Accountability Cycle.
This training and certification process assures that the individual has a deep understanding of the full ROMA Cycle, along with skills for practical application of each step of the cycle, from Needs Assessment to Analysis and Evaluation, though has not necessarily demonstrated competence in the additional step of delivering the Introduction to ROMA Training.
Who should apply?
Individuals who decide to purse the NCRI certification are those who:
want to support their agency's use of the full ROMA Cycle but do not want to be a trainer or to deliver traditional classroom style training to groups,
who work one-on-one or in small groups with agency staff to look more closely at the processes and practices in place and help identify how they can be improved for results, and
have professional experience in service in the Community Action network for at least one year.
What is involved in the certification process?
There are
four phases to the training and certification process:
taking an E-Course, attending a one day training (to be held sometime during the week of February 25th, 2019, likely in Raleigh, NC), preparation of a portfolio to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts and your use of the practices, and a final exam.
The Application Fee for the 2018 Training and Certification Process is $775.00
Applications for the next North Carolina NCRI cohort are due Thursday, December 13th, 2018.
