Possibly a dumb question but, what is the official or accepted suffix for a certified ISA arborist? CA? I am getting my cards done up and I can't seem to find this answer anywhere...

 

[Tom Dunlap]

CA is correct.

BUT! If you just add that, what does it mean to anyone who reads the card? On my advertising I have "ISA Certified Arborist" Sometimes I still have to tell people what ISA means but most make the correct assumption that it's some kind of trade or regulatory agency.

If you do use ISA, don't do what I did the last printing. There was too much space between the letters and the card read:

Tom Dunlap IS A Certified Arborist

The next printing, I had them move the letters closer together

On the back of my card I have the logos of all the trade organizations that I belong.

Tom

Anyone putting this logo on their cards?

I just got a bunch printed and did not think of it.

Would Darin pay us for advertising for him

CA

I would be careful with "CA" added after one's name around here-it means "Chartered Accountant".

 

[Kneejerk Bombas]

I thought CA was consulting arborist.
