"NCMA's 2008 Salary Survey found that contract managers with a NCMA certification earned significantly more than their non-certified peers!"

While we're not suggesting a certification will immediately launch your salary into the stratosphere, there is a clear correlation between certification and significantly higher salaries.

"Education is the key to advancing in any profession."

The Gateway Chapter regularly offers seminars on topics that pertain to your profession!  Many of them are free of charge and members receive substantial discounts on those that aren't.
