November 2018 - Professional Development is the Key to Success

Ashley Izydore Euler, CMP Physician Education Manager Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Chapter VP of Finance Member since 2014

As we are starting to enter the end of 2018, it is prime time for you to begin your goal setting plans for the coming year. What are you looking to accomplish this next year? How do you plan to grow as a professional? Can you really make your dream of becoming a successful reality star come true? (Bravo – holler at your girl!) While being the next Real Housewife may not be in the cards for all of us, professional development is. There are ample opportunities over the coming months for you to attend educational opportunities, join a small group, or sign up for a certificate program to elevate your status within your area of the events and hospitality industry. I personally have benefitted from the CMP Study Group hosted through MPI Georgia and would highly recommend that as a place to start.

The next CMP Study Group information session is scheduled for the week of January 28, 2019. Are you nervous to take the leap? If so, I would be happy to talk with you about my experience with the study group, taking the test, and the benefits. It is a manageable time commitment and a great way to get to know a new group of industry buddies. Or maybe you are interested in one of the many other certification courses available through MPI such as the Healthcare Meeting Compliance Certificate (HMCC designation and one of my personal 2019 goals) or the Certificate in Meeting Management (CMM). Click here for information for these certifications.
