“My CPSD™ and CPSM® certifications had an immediate
impact by providing me with a significant and
unchallengeable advantage. I was recently appointed
by Virginia’s Governor to serve as the state’s first
director of supplier diversity. During the comprehensive
vetting process, the administration saw they needed
someone with credibility in both the procurement and
supplier diversity communities.”

Senior Director of Supplier Diversity, Novation
