Sometimes I am not sure where the time goes. It seems like only yesterday I was writing about what 2018 will bring and here we are about to usher in 2019. Time does fly! I encouraged you at the beginning of the year to make the most of your CMP. Personally, I did this by recertifying my CMP in the first quarter and checking it off my to-do list. I networked with CMPs throughout the year at different industry events. I engaged our community through leading the CMP Governance Commission. I (hopefully) led the commission to be more successful in the future, always hoping to leave things better.
