  • Annalisa Ponchia March 21, 2012

    Congrats to all colleagues in the list, t we had a session in Italy (Europe) bur these names are not included........are you planning a different post?! (I was there, and passed my CPM!)
  • Patty MacPherson, CMP March 21, 2012

    Congratulations everyone.

    Patty MacPherson, CMP


  • Jason Hensel March 21, 2012

    Hi Annalisa,

    My apologies for your name being left off. I corrected that. 

    The list that CIC provided has you listed as Annalise instead of Annalisa, which is why your name didn't come up when it was cross-referenced with our member directory.

    Thank you,
    Jason
