Donation Presented to the NCMA CMLDP Program by Our Chapter
 | | Presenting the chapter's donation to CMLDP Program Manager Po Collins (second from left) is Dulles Corridor Chapter President Jessica Grant (third from left). Also pictured are NCMA Executive Director Mike Fischetti (far left) and NCMA President Larry Trowel (far right). |
The Dulles Corridor Chapter presented a $2,500 donation to NCMA's Contract Management Leadership Development Program (CMLDP) at the November Fall Chapter Leader Summit held at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC.
The CMLDP is designed to help develop the next generation of contract management leaders through an intensive yearlong educational experience. The program's emphasis is on building leadership skills that will benefit the contract management profession. Program participants will receive 180 hours of top-quality education in fundamental leadership, association volunteerism, NCMA governance, and contract management. The program is quite relevant to contract management professionals regardless of their employer, location, or industry.
The CMLDP was created to quickly close the gap in leadership progression by accelerating the preparation of a select group of contract management professionals. Candidates will have demonstrated a level of commitment to their professional development unmatched in the field and, as a result, will carry with them a unique, meaningful credential that will open doors to new challenges and professional opportunities.
The donation will be used to help defray costs associated with the program. We wish the 20 NCMA members who are in the CMLDP program this year the best as they progress through the program!
