"I think the research shows there is a demand for a business generalist certification. The CBM program definitely fills that need. In a competitive business world credentials are important. I am grateful for the opportunity to receive recognition for my extensive general business management experience. The CBM designation is an important complement to my specialist designation as a CPA."
