If you are in charge of a convention or event that provides plenty of opportunity for certification professionals to network and learn more running a certification business—and you want to promote it here on the CNG website, please click here to submit your information.
There’s a good reason that “network” is in our name.
It’s what we do best. It’s a verb, a noun and a culture. There are seven reasons why Certification Network Group members come to face-to-face meetings and completely “work the room”:
1) Listen and share solutions to make everyone’s job better;
2) Boost your program’s results and ROI;
3) Learn new ways to use old solutions;
4) Find new solutions to common challenges;
5) Meet over coffee with friends and colleagues from the same certification environment;
6) Discover commonalities among certification programs; and
7) Together we all become smarter and more effective.
CNG Meetings Will Inspire You
Programs are all interactive and focus on issues and certification situations not yet explored or covered in other venues. Rich Brooks presented social media specific to achieving certification program goals and results.
A steering committee of volunteers considers suggested topics for programs and arranges four morning meetings during the calendar year at various locations within the immediate DC metropolitan area. Meetings are normally set up so that all attendees are active participants. Sometimes the program gets more traditional with a presentation or panel discussion, and then quickly breaks into lively group discussion with lots of Q&A and an abundance of opinions and case histories.
Meetings are held every third Wednesday of the third month of each business quarter. Click a link below for details: Find out what topic we will be discussing at our next meeting by clicking on the dates to the left.
Speakers and Discussion Leaders Wanted
The networking is the best! Then all settle in with computers, coffee, notepads to soak in new information from speakers who prepare for interactive presentations with plenty of questions from the CNG audience.This is your chance to raise your hand and let us know you want to prepare a wowser of a presentation or show us your skills at group facilitation. Please send us an email message by clicking here: Speakers & Leaders
Because this is an all-volunteer group and an equal opportunity program platform, we like our speakers and discussion leaders to come early (by 9:40 a.m.) and help us greet everyone who comes to the meeting.
