Accreditation Status
In its early years, FLAG achieved full accreditation status with the two main regulatory agencies in the U.S. exchange student industry: Designation as an official sponsor of Exchange Visitor Programs by the United States Department of State and acceptance for full listing in the Advisory List published by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (C.S.I.E.T.).
FLAG has earned and maintains an impeccable reputation and track record with both agencies. Founder Mazi Cunha has been nominated for and continues to serve in volunteer positions at C.S.I.E.T. as a contributor to its evaluative and listing efforts as an Evaluation Committee Member, Accreditation Committee Member and Accreditation Committee Chairman.
In 2002, Mazi was nominated, elected, and still serves as a member of C.S.I.E.T's Board of Directors.
