Why Become a CMP?
• Recognition: As the premier industry certification, the CMP distinguishes holders as career professionals who have demonstrated a high level of experience, skill, and knowledge.
• Competitive Advantage: The designation conveys credibility to a meeting professional’s opinions and ideas, both at work and in the greater meetings, conventions, and exhibitions industry.
• Peer Acceptance: CMPs are immediately recognized by other CMPs as fellow professionals committed to the advancement of the profession.
• Salary Enhancement: CMPs can use the certification as a competitive advantage when it comes to negotiating salaries and other business.
• Personal Achievement: After passing a rigorous application and examination process, CMPs express a profound sense of personal achievement at finally being regarded as the exceptionally skilled professional they are.
• Commitment: Successful completion of the certification process conveys that the certified meeting professional is committed and goal driven in their career.

Thinking about taking this next step in your career?
The July exam is just around the corner and now is the time to start preparing. Earning the CMP designation is no easy task and there’s no need to take this journey alone. As a member of the study group, you will have the support of fellow candidates and the guidance and insight of CMPs with a broad range of experience. PAMPI’s Spring CMP Study Group is forming now and kicks-off on Saturday, April 14.

Note: Even if you’re not planning to take the exam in July, you can earn valuable CEUs for a future exam application by enrolling in and attending the study group classes.
