Visit Tri-Cities’ Maria Alleman Earns CFMP

Maria Alleman

Maria Alleman, Convention Sales Manager of Visit Tri-Cities, earned her Certified Faith-Based Meeting Professional credentials through the Religious Conference Management Association in October 2021.  
 
The Religious Conference Management Association’s certification program is designed to equip meeting professionals in the essentials of faith-based meeting planning. The course is comprised of eight classes with an exam following each class. Upon completion and successfully passing all eight exams, a certification of completion is given along with permission to use the CFMP designation. Certification is valid for 5 years, after which time, those holding the certification will be required to re-certify by verifying their continued involvement in the faith-based event industry. 
 
“Credentials like the CFMP show convention, meeting and other group planners that we’re operating with a high-level of expertise, customer service and professionalism,” said Michael Novakovich, President & CEO of Visit Tri-Cities. “Maria has once again demonstrated great commitment to our community, our stakeholders and our team by earning her CFMP. These types of designations set the Tri-Cities apart from other destinations, which is critical as we work to bring back group business following the impact of the pandemic.”
