Consider taking the CPSM exam and expand your knowledge base in the process! A Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) is an SMPS member who meets a rigorous standard of expertise in marketing professional services. For some, that equates to career advancement or increased compensation and benefits. For everyone, this personal investment enhances your opportunity for professional success. SMPS Seattle offers monthly study sessions hosted by Jeremy Richard, CPSM and CPSM Certification Reimbursements ($520) for members who pass the exam. Funds are available annually on a limited basis. Visit the scholarships page for more information.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The SMPS vision Business transformed through marketing leadership asserts that our profession can create powerful, positive change. By harnessing the passion of our members, we aim to advance racial justice and equality in our organization and in the broader A/E/C industry. Our first of many steps was an Open Conversation event on June 30, 2020 where we compiled information and resources generated by a robust discussion. Since then, we continue to talk, plan, and strategize the best way to move toward the sustainable future we envision. Our Seattle chapter DEI Committee meets regularly and receives additional guidance and support from the Society's DEI Task Force and leadership. If you have feedback for the DEI Committee, or information regarding DEI initiatives, please reach out. We are here for you, and we are listening.
