• Problem statement  NCMA certification is losing
  acceptance in the contract management profession.
  
•  
• Desired state  Widely accepted certification
  program.

Guiding principles

• Retain the current program strengths  Using the
  CMBOK as its foundation, continue with
  competency-based, psychometrically sound, legally
  defensible, and available on demand exams.

8
Guiding principles (cont.)

• 2. Incorporate the legacy program strengths
   There should be one exam leading to one
  certification.  The CPCM, CFCM, and CCCM will be
  independent certifications.

9
Guiding principles (cont.)

• 3. Multiple certification credentials are
  required to effectively service our members.  
• The CPCM, CFCM, and CCCM should be retained.
• Certifications should be added for vertical
  market segments (ie. international, construction).

10
Guiding principles (cont.)

• 4. The single CPCM exam must include business
  knowledge and generic contracting topics (ie,
  negotiations, law, ethics).  
• The CFCM must focus on the FAR.
• The CCCM must focus on the UCC.

NCMA Logo Redesign

• Two focus groups have been conducted to gather
  feedback on the current NCMA Logo. Participation
  levels were encouraging. While the individual
  feedback was diverse, there were three
  overarching themes that came as a result.
• The logo needs to be refreshed and updated
• Members would like an element of the current logo
  to be maintained in the future logo
• We should remove the pentagon from the logoit
  suggests we are focused solely on DOD.
