Great News! CIMPA's Web-based Training, Self-assessment and Certification of Meeting Professionals is now ready. CIMPA has partnered with George Mason University's Hyperlearning Center on this project.

In a letter to Dr. Andrea Sigler, CIMPA President, Dr. Daniel Menasce, Hyperlearning Center Director wrote:

"I would like to congratulate you for displaying the vision to move your organization into an era consistent with the state of the art in Information Technology. Your decision to adopt the Hyperlearning Meter System to provide self-assessment and certification over the Web opens up a large number of new opportunities for the professionals in your field. It has been a great pleasure for us to collaborate with you in this endeavor.

We wish you continued success and look forward to continuing to work with you."
