The foremost certification program of today's meetings, conventions and expositions industry, the CMP designation recognizes those who have achieved the industry's highest standards of professionalism. Established in 1985, the CMP credential was developed to increase the proficiency of meeting professionals in any component or sector of the industry by:
- Identifying a body of knowledge
- Establishing a level of knowledge and performance necessary for certification
- Stimulating the advancement of the art and science of meeting management
- Increasing the value of practitioners to their employers
- Recognizing and raising industry standards, practices and ethics
- Maximizing the value received from the products and services provided by Certified Meeting Professionals
Anyone thinking about studying for a future CMP exam should download the CMP Application and Handbook (free) from the CIC website (www.conventionindustry.org). Begin your preparation now to accumulate the number of points required to sit for the exam. Each year several potential candidates end up short on points when they could have easily obtained them in the months prior to submitting their application.
Anyone interested in the CMP designation may contact VAMPI Certification Chair Abby Sipe, CMP, at 434-245-8425 x. abby@nacas.org for assistance.
