I was overjoyed to receive these pictures of two of my CMP students, Erica Henze, CMP, DES, and Megan Y., CMP, meeting for the first time while on vacation! Erica and Megan became study buddies after taking my Fall 2024 class, and they both recently passed the CMP exam! Look closely to see what they wrote on their Disney pins! . . . #themeetguide?#cmp?#meetingsandevents?#meetingprofs?#eventprofs?#miceindustry?#eventplanners?#hospitality?#cmpclass?#cmpprep?#cmpexam?#cmpexampreparationcourses?#cmponlineclass?#cmpvirtualclass
