The Events Industry Council’s Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) program, established in 1985, is recognized around the world as a badge of excellence in the events industry. JodieAnn Cady, an independent event project manager based in Mason, is among the professionals in the inaugural class of CMP Fellows, a program launched last year.
In announcing the first class of CMP Fellows, Amy Calvert, CEO of the Events Industry Council, notes, “We developed the CMP Fellows program to offer unique peer-to-peer experiences, [provide] a forum for collaboration for those CMPs who had demonstrated exemplary leadership and a commitment to lifelong learning, and to recognize and reward the long-term achievements as part of our commitment to supporting and showcasing the value of ongoing professional education. The caliber of applications was truly humbling, and it was inspiring and motivating to read about the achievements and dedication of all of those who applied.”
