  • Congratulations to Newest CMP Recipients from Taiwan

    Congratulations to the 13 newest CMP recipients from Taiwan. A ceremony was held at the 2012 Asia MICE Forum—hosted by Taitra—on Sept. 28 to deliver the Congratulation Certificates provided by CIC and a cash award for each CMP from the sponsor, the Bureau of Foreign Trade.

    The CMPs are very proud of themselves, and so are we. The ceremony was also a good opportunity for marketing the CMP program in Taiwan, and it encourages the industry people to become CMPs in the near future.

    Below is a photo of some of the recipients at the ceremony.
