ADME - DMCP Certification
Within many professions and industries, certification is the outward sign of achieving a knowledge level demonstrating a commitment to excellence in the chosen field. Certification is the outgrowth of recognition by the members of an affinity group that a higher quality of service or product can be attained if there is identification of a core body of knowledge, and testing on that knowledge, to assure the best possible communication between certificate-holder and client.
The members of ADME have determined it is incumbent on those who are truly committed to higher standards of excellence to become certified. As the pre-eminent organization for Destination Management Executives, the mission is to increase the professionalism and effectiveness of destination management through member and industry education, establishment of standard ethical practices and raise the level of awareness of the value of destination management to the respective associations, corporations and general public.
ADME has established a certification program, the Destination Management Certified Professional (DMCP), in order to create impetus for organizational self-improvement and to stimulate a general raising of standards. GEP Philly’s President & CEO Michael J. Lyons, DMCP is one of only four DMCPs in the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. | |
