CESP Certification Program

Member Perspective: The Certification Experience
"I am a volunteer Employee Activities Committee Chairperson and the decision to apply for the CESP designation was a personal one. At the time of my application, there were only 2 people in Michigan with this and I thought it would be pretty cool to be in that elite group. After answering the exam questions, I realized we had a very solid program ourselves. I was proud of all that we did (and still do!) for our employees. Now maintaining this designation gives me and our volunteer program validity with our management team and with other hospitals in the area."
