THE FOUNDERS

A group of 12 RFID professionals came together in 20212 because they were concerned that the demise of the CompTIA managed RFID Certification meant the RFID industry no longer had a formal professional certification scheme to promote professionalism in the industry. They decided to form an institute for this purpose with the mission:

 

"To promote the public good by fostering high levels of professionalism through standardized, independent, vendor-neutral certification exams developed by relevant subject matter experts."

 

The RFID International Institute was formed in June 2012 and in November 2014 changed its name to the RFID Professional Institute to better reflect the Institute's objectives.

THE BOARD

The founding Board of Directors was composed of experienced professionals from all aspects of the RFID industry. They served on a totally voluntary unpaid basis for three year terms. The founding Board members are:
