The Academy has been offering IABMCP Diplomate Status to qualified practitioners for over 20 years. To the best of the Academy’s knowledge and belief, it is the first multi-disciplinary professional association seeking to establish international standards for professional excellence.
The Academy is most fortunate to have had many prominent practitioners providing a great deal of assistance in helping the Academy to develop and strive towards its goals and objectives. Many of these exceptional individuals who had served on the Academy’s Professional Advisory Council have, unfortunately, passed away through the years.
The Academy wishes to acknowledge the special debt of gratitude that it owes to the following individuals – all of whom were early IABMCP Diplomates and all of whom served on the Academy’s Professional Advisory Committee – who are no longer with us. This list of outstanding professionals also indicates the area of expertise for which they probably are best known.
