Enhance Your Career Through the CPSM Mentoring & More Program

As a member of SMPS Central PA, you understand the value of continuous improvement through education, which can enhance your opportunity for professional success.  That’s why we designed the CPSM Mentoring & More program for all chapter members. The program is a benefit for those who want to earn the CPSM certification, as well as those who just want to increase their understanding of strategic market planning, market research, plan implementation, business development, and promotion.

SMPS members are welcome to attend any session for $15 per class. Even if you already earned your CPSM, you can enhance and ‘brush up’ your knowledge on the marketing domains of practice. All sessions are instructed by CPSM leaders in the industry who will facilitate productive and healthy discussions of the topics.
