A self-reporting submission form is available from your member association.
What is the difference between the IACC, the IACC-NA and the AICCE?"

IACC is the international parent organization, the International Association of Color Consultants/Designers. It is an organization of color professionals specially trained in the functional application of color and the human response. IACC-NA is the North American (NA) chapter of the IACC. We are a not-for-profit organization comprised of IACC-educated color consultants and designers. The AICCE is the business and administrative entity for the seminars.
