Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

CMPs in South Africa had the opportunity to attend a special CMP Breakfast held in conjunction with the SAACI Annual Congress.  SAACI, the Southern African Association for the Conference Industry is one of CIC's newest international members.  CIC CEO Karen Kotowski spoke at the SAACI Congress on the Value of the CMP Certification and attended the first ever CMP Breakfast for South Africa CMPs organized by SAACI and sponsored by Nigel Walker of Complete Exhibitions.  She also presented CMP pins to three CMPs who earned their certifications in the last year.
 
Kotowski also introduced Chris Prieto as the new CMP Regional Representative in South Africa.  As announced in last month's newsletter, volunteer CMPs in various regions of the world will be CIC's eyes and ears on the ground promoting CMP to future candidates as well as creating communities of existing CMPs in the area.
