Mary Power, CAE, the P in CMP, leaves CIC

Whoever hat personally met Mary will agree with me that energy has but one name:
Mary Power.

I read today that Mary has resigned from the CIC.

She has been raising the profile and performance of the Convention Industry Council (CIC) over a seven year tenure as President.

During that time, CIC reserves have grown from $224,000 to $900,000, and the prestigious Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) industry certification program has swelled from 2,000 credentialed individuals in three countries to over 12,000 CMPs in 34 countries today.

Mary has also overseen the creation of the Accepted Practices Exchange (APEX) initiative, which is developing voluntary standards for the industry in order to improve its efficiency and effectiveness.

I am sure that my friend Beate Ewing who is on the CMP Board together with all other Board members will keep the CMP program growing.
