What happens after the CPM designation is awarded?
Successful graduates earn professional designation as a Certified Public Manager and become eligible for membership in the American Academy of Certified Public Managers (http://www.cpmacademy.org/), a national professional association of public sector managers. The American Academy of Certified Public Managers encourages each accredited state’s graduates to form State Societies. State Society members network with one another (hold meetings, attend additional training days, form a listserv) and may attend the annual national meeting. The Alaska Society is currently in a formative stage. UAS Masters Program Holders of Alaska Certified Public Manager designation may receive six elective credits toward the University of Alaska Southeast Master of Public Administration program. Peer and Mentor Discussion Boards Converse with your peers or mentor a current CPM student. Join Alaska’s CPM forum for managers at all levels throughout Alaska to discuss current opportunities, problems and issues.
