Since its inception, the NACVSA has monitored legislation on a weekly basis in all 50 states and the federal government that could impact on CVSA Examiners. The NACVSA uses a Washington DC-based legislative monitoring service to accomplish this task, and has successfully blocked polygraph-related legislative initiatives in a number of states which were designed to limit the use of VSA technologies or that could have harmed the CVSA profession.
The NACVSA has a highly-qualified Educational Coordinator to oversee professional development programs, educational grants and CVSA-related research activities.
The NACVSA has an ongoing project to obtain POST Certification or its equivalent in as many states as possible for CVSA-related training courses to ensure our members receive full credit for all NACVSA-sponsored courses.

The NACVSA manages an on-line Cold Call List, available 24X7, which is on our website (www.nacvsa.org), and available at no charge for use by all Certified CVSA Examiners, both members and non-members.

The NACVSA recognizes CVSA Examiners for their special accomplishments through our Professional Excellence Award Program.
The NACVSA ensures professional training and technical standards are upheld and maintained for all CVSA professionals, and works to minimize the harm caused by the teaching of unproven and/or unsanctioned CVSA techniques.

The NACVSA Professional Certification levels were created to recognize those examiners who have invested time and effort in mastering the use of the Computer Voice Stress Analyzer. There are four Professional Certification Levels for CVSA Examiners offered by NACVSA: Certified Examiner; Senior Examiner; Expert Examiner; and Master Examiner.
