MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - November 17, 2009) - MotivAction, a recognized leader in
the meetings and events industry, participated in the inaugural Strategic
Meetings Management Certification (SMMC) professional development program.
Meetings and travel professionals attended the sold-out education event at
Emory University in Atlanta, which focused on the theory and practice of
Strategic Meetings Management Programs (SMMP), an approach to managing
corporate meeting and event activities and processes.
The SMMC program consists of two core weeks and elective classes. The
curriculum is designed to drive further development of accepted best
practices, lead to creative new "next-practices," and enhance communication
and leadership skills in developing and implementing global meeting
policies, workflows and technologies. Upon completion of the course,
graduates will earn the SMMC designation, indicating a proficiency in
strategic meetings management.
Joseph F. Keller, president & COO of MotivAction, believes that the future
of SMMP will change the face of corporate events and meetings. "Earning the
SMMC designation is a critical path forward for our company. It will allow
us to offer more effective options for corporations interested in saving
money and resources on their meetings management."
