Welcome you to the inaugural issue of the improved CMP Today! I hope you’re find this new format easier to navigate and full of relevant content.
Less than a month ago, CMPs gathered at the second-highest attended CMP Conclave to expand their knowledge and expertise, build meaningful relationships and be inspired. I would like to again thank our generous hosts:
Tampa Bay & Company and
Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina. Appreciation and thanks also go to all of our sponsors who make the CMP Conclave possible.
Much of the success of this year’s Conclave is due to the hard work of a new committee that was formed this past year, the Conclave Education Program Committee. This committee was created to draw on the expertise, experience and inspiration of the CMP community, and to develop compelling content. Congratulations to the committee on raising the bar and creating exceptional education! Over the next few issues, we will be sharing more from this year's Conclave here in CMP Today to foster the learning and networking of our CMP community.
