The CMM designation is considered one of the highest level of certifications within our industry. I worked extremely hard and am very proud to have obtained it.

As a former member of CMM faculty, I believe that the current CMM credential has great value to individuals as well as the industry. It appears to me that the proposed changes by MPI significantly undermine both. I recommend the consideration of the ideas presented with this petition. Respectfully submitted, Todd Hanson, CPIM, CRP

We all worked SO hard and devoted nearly a week away from our jobs for a chance to earn this designation, not to mention the significant expense. Why, when it is becoming recognized and respected by more and employers would you negate/de value it's significance!

I have over 25 years experience, have taught meeting planning at the university level and I proudly list earning my CMM in my bio. It seems like this decision alienates many and could be easily avoided.

Diluting a program that has loyal followers who qualified for the certifcate is a lose, lose. Create a NEW program for the travel folks. They deserve their own designation and CMMers deserve what they earned.

Too many certificate and certification programs in the events industry have been 'watered down' and lack the credibility as well as clear understanding of core competencies and showing level of proficiency to even garner the certificate or certification.

Quite honestly my renewal of my MPI membership is based on how this plays out. I am currently researching other industry organizations with which to affiliate myself that are more in tune with what the industry wants and needs.

I am most disappointed by the changes being made to the program. As one of the newest graduates of the program - the ink was barely dry on my hard earned certification only to find it wasn't as valuable any longer.
