“Management of mail and distribution systems today calls for many more skills and knowledge than in the past. With the changing attitudes of executive management toward the importance of employing managers with higher skill levels, a new breed of mail management professional has emerged. Organizations of all sizes are beginning to recognize that they cannot afford to entrust the management of their mail and distribution operation to unequipped managers. A professional manager is required in order to achieve an efficient mail operation that is capable of providing maximum quality services at minimum cost.”

-National MSMA Website

The benefits of CMDSM and CMDSS Certifications are:

• Increased professional standards and management skills
• A defined body of knowledge for effective performance in the mailing industry established  for employers, as well as people in the profession
• Established guidelines for achievement and a learning experience path for people to follow in developing their career in this profession
• Encouraged  participation in a continuing educational program for professional development  that fosters growth in the mailing industry

Please join us to discuss getting started with the process of taking the CMDSM or CMDSS certification.  MSMA New England will be a resource which will help you through the learning process, and will provide information about each technical area within the exams.
