Congratulations to This New CMP
Maricon would get up to take the class in the middle of the night even for Answers Afterwards -- 12 hour time difference. She was born, raised and educated in the Philippines and English is not her first language (and of course the books and exam are in English). Maricon is an Event Services Specialist at the Philippine International Convention Center and is only the second CMP in the Philippines! I am very proud and happy for her, and it means a lot to have been part of her journey!!
