This prestigious award recognition is a tremendous honor and is dedicated to the NACM network of commanding and selfless individuals that have helped me (and countless others) achieve professional certification. Among many benefits, obtaining the CCE designation has significantly contributed to focused and enhanced decision making and confidence in my abilities to achieve greater success and satisfaction in my job as a valued credit professional.  I have also become keenly aware of the vast resources, both in literature and expert connections, available through the NACM network at the local and national level.
