NCMA Norfolk offers our members the ability to participate in a number of avenues and programs designed to help advance their leadership and professional development. Our two primary developmental programs are:
Advancing Professionals
NCMA formed the Advancing Professionals Program (APP) in late 2012 to connect individuals new to the profession who are interested in building relationships with and learning from other professionals in the field. The APP is open to: a) professionals who are under 33 years old, b) new to the contract management field and, c) who are looking to advance their careers by building effective networks. For more information about the APP check out our Advancing Professionals page.
Contract Management Leadership Development Program (CMLDP)
The Contract Management Leadership Development Program (CMLDP) is designed to help develop the next generation of contract management leaders through an intensive yearlong educational experience. Program participants will receive 180 hours of top quality training in fundamental leadership, association volunteerism, NCMA governance, and contract management. The program is quite relevant to contract management professionals regardless of their employer, location, or industry.
The CMLDP was created to quickly close the gap in leadership progression by accelerating the preparation of a select group of contract management professionals. Candidates will have demonstrated a level of commitment to their professional development unmatched in the field and, as a result, will carry with them unique, meaningful credentials that will open doors to new challenges and professional opportunities. For more information about the CMLDP check out our Contract Management Leadership Development Program (CMLDP) page.
