The National Association for Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) recently announced their branding change to the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA). This new branding intends to align their name with their vision to be a global organization. Along with a new name came a new logo and website.
PBSA was founded in 2003 and is a one-of-a-kind organization which accredits Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) like Choice Screening. PBSA is well know for setting the background screening industry standards of operating, providing educational resources, and more. PBSA has chapters in the US, Canada, Asia-Pacific, and parts of Europe
