How to Become AE-C Certified
The National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) granted accreditation to the NAECB for demonstrating compliance with the NCCA Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs. NCCA is the accrediting body of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence. Are you aware that many employers acknowledge certifications that have attained NCCA accreditation? Some give bonus pay and some will pay for the AE-C certification and/or recertification. This may be something you can discuss with your employer to see if it applies to you! To learn more on how to become an AE-C, go to www.naecb.com or you may contact them by phone 877.408.0072 or email: info@naecb.org. | Upcoming Events

Who We Are
The Arizona Asthma Coalition (AAC) is a statewide partnership founded in 1996 to address the growing and serious problems related to asthma in Arizona. Due to an increasing concern about asthma in Arizona and therefore a significant increase in asthma-related activities, we became a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization in November of 2008. | Asthma Burden
Asthma is a common chronic respiratory condition that affects millions of Americans across the age span on a daily basis. In Arizona, it is estimated that more than 1 million residents have asthma. Asthma can be a life-threatening condition – almost 100 Arizona residents die every year due to asthma. | JOIN THE coalition
More than ever before, we need your support! Our Coalition needs to remain strong so we can target support for better services and improved quality of life for Arizonans living with asthma. |
