    Congratulations to the CMM class of 2011! I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend some time with you during our session in Dallas. What has been your key takaway and benefit from taking the CMM program? 
  • Janine McBee June 05, 2012

    So much to learn...never stop connecting, collaborating, and dreaming!
  • Cynthia J Douwes, CMP, CMM June 05, 2012

    Congratulations to the CMM 2011 class.  As a member of the 2010 CMM class, I can tell you that you have given yourself the greatest gift possible.  A designation which tells the world you are dedicated to education and professionalism in our industry. The best of luck in all you do!
  • Dvorah Evans, CMP, CMM, CTA June 05, 2012

    Congratulations to all my fellow Dallas 2011 CMM'ers!!!  What a rewarding experience!  My takaway, along with some great new friends and interesting stories to tell, is that you are truly never to old to learn...and you can teach an old dog new tricks!  (smile)
  • Timothy Arnold, CMP, CMM June 05, 2012

  • Cynthia Tomei, CMP, FAHM, CMM June 06, 2012

    My company listed above is incorrect - it should be Blue Cross Blue Shield Association...but still, YIPPEE!
  • Doug McPhee June 06, 2012

    You all deserve compliments and praise for your accomplishment. It only seems like yesterday that my class was in Toronto in 2007. Many new friends and so much learning there and it continues. Your hard work and dedication are evident with this accomplishment.
    "Live as if you will die tomorrow, Learn as if you will live forever." attributed to Gandhi among others.  Great success awaits!

  • Robert Smith, CMP, CMM June 07, 2012

    Congratulations to all the new CMM's.  I went attended the program ten years ago at Georgetown.  It is still the most valuable professional development experience I have gone through.  I am sure that ten years from now you will say the same thing.

    Way to Go!!

  • Laura Bohannon, CMM, CMP September 19, 2012

    Congratulations to all of you!  Earning the CMM designation was not easy for me in 2008 but was worth my time, energy and expense.  I think differently now about everything related to my business, the industry and the future. We need to encourage more of our peers to 'go for it'!
