Modeling and simulation is a vibrant and growing community, so it’s more important now than ever to distinguish yourself from the crowd. Becoming a Certified M&S Professional (CMSP) does just that. It shows your commitment to superior professionalism, upholding industry standards, and to continued learning above and beyond even a terminal M&S degree.

This special event describes CMSP; the motivators behind its creation, its evolution, and the current version. After providing a quick snapshot of CMSP’s pedigree, a recent CMSP awardee will summarize the new CMSP Levels, Learning Management System, examination, and describe the improved infrastructure that includes on-line preparation materials and in-person mentorship. Finally, information will be provided on future CMSP offerings (e.g., sub-certifications) and on how interested individuals can start the process to achieve their certification.

After that, an around-the-room discussion will provide additional details and answer any questions.
