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.
From the December 16, 2010 CNG Meeting
“I thought you were excellent and you really changed my life and the way I carry myself and interact….. Your presentation was superb and I feel it was the single best presentation by the Certification Networking Group in my experience. ”
Peter Brooks,
Executive Director
The American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers
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.
The CNG Board of Directors 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.
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.
