"What an honor to receive the "Credit Executive of the Year" award for 2008" from CMA! I am really humbled by the recognition and now able to join the ranks of past CMA credit execs of the year, some of who were in attendance at the membership meeting.

I've spent all of my business life in and around credit management and this award is truly one that I will treasure.  Much of my life has been devoted to education - first as an avocation when I was in the corporate world, and now as a vocation as I begin my tenth year in consulting. Besides the undergraduate and graduate programs I teach, I'm very pleased to have have been involved  in both the development and instruction for on line, certificate eduction. This would include the FCIB International Risk Management program as well as CMA's courses in Business Credit Principles, Financial Statement Analysis and Interpretation and Credit Risk Assessment. It's a pleasure working with CMA, a vibrant association that is taking the lead in providing timely, on-line education for credit and business professionals."
