Don't let fate define your
career. Healthy careers are solidly based on
affiliation, accreditation, and accolades -
tangible, verifiable attributes.
Membership in professional
societies is a very important part of a person's
career. Whether it is from fulfilling formal
membership requirements or peer recognition of your
expertise, efforts and leadership, your role in
these organizations provides verifiable information
that is important to your career. It also gives you
the opportunity to network with peers, participate
in education programs, develop your leadership
skills and share the benefits of your success with
your community.
Accreditation: In
today's world of specialization, accreditation has
become a key element in your reputation as a
business professional. Access to the Internet and
e-mail have created an environment where job
hunters and proposal respondents can inundate
prospective employers with resumes. Accreditation
has become a major screening tool to deal with this
deluge of information. Today it is critical to
present your verifiable qualifications to the
decision-makers.
Accolades: If you think you
deserve it, go after an association's award. It
distinguishes you from your colleagues. It is a
powerful reference you can use in clinching a
deal.
You get access to all the
above when you join CIMPA, the Connected
International Meeting Professionals
Association.
Our mission is simple: To
connect peoples of the world through meetings,
travel and the internet. We do not just stage
meetings. We organize meetings with a
purpose.
The internet has drastically
changed the way we do business. It is time to
unlearn much of what meeting professionals have
held sacred for so long. But the process of
unlearning traditional ways of approaching and
solving problems is not easy. That is where
membership in this organization can help
you.
This is your invitation
to join. Invest in your future. Sign up
today!

International Meeting Professionals Association is
open to all association executives, meeting
planners, incentive organizers, travel agents who
organize meetings and incentives, tour operators
who organize pre and post-conference trips,
