CERTIFIED MEMORIALISTS & THEIR VALUE TO CONSUMERS
 Everybody knows that MD following an individual’s name means that person is a medical doctor. And CPA signifies the individual has met standards and fulfilled requirements to be a Certified Public Accountant. Ask a certified professional “why?” and they’ll tell you that the certification process is one of the single most important steps you can take in career development. Like many associations, MBNA utilizes professional certification to recognize individuals for their dedication to their chosen career and their ability to perform to set standards, by bestowing on those individuals who qualify the Certified Memorialist® designation. Here are seven reasons why you should consider certification:
- Certification demonstrates your commitment to the profession. Receiving your certification shows your peers, supervisors and, in turn, the general public your commitment to your chosen career and you ability to perform to set standards. Since university degrees can no longer represent the full measure of professional knowledge and competence in today’s evolving job market, certification sets you apart.
- Certification enhances the profession’s image. Association certification programs seek to grow, promote, and develop certified professionals, who can stand “out in front” as examples of excellence in the industry or field.
- Certification reflects achievement. And not only achievement, but also personal achievement. A certified professional has displayed excellence in their field and fulfilled set standards and requirements.
- Certification builds self-esteem. Certification creates a standard for our profession, complete with performance standards, ethics, and career paths. You’ll begin to define yourself beyond a job description or academic degree. You’ll see yourself as a certified professional who can control his or her own professional destiny and find a deep sense of personal satisfaction.
- Certification establishes professional credentials. Since it recognizes your individual accomplishments, certification stands above your resume, serving as an impartial endorsement to your knowledge and experience. And, when the industry and the public look for individuals qualified to perform services, they seek individuals who have achieved certification.
- Certification improves skills and knowledge. Ideally, achieving certification shows your individual competence by confirming proficiency and career involvement and assuring knowledge.
- Certification offers greater professional recognition from peers. Hear the applause? It’s all for you! As a certified professional, you can expect increased recognition from your peers for taking that extra step in your professional development.
