A new professional certification for membership leaders has just launched and we got the inside scoop first.
In the newest episode of Association Transformation, co-hosts Elisa Pratt and Andrew Chamberlain sit down with Sarah Sladek to discuss the launch of the Membership Excellence Certification (MXC).
This conversation goes beyond the announcement. We dig into:
🔹 Why membership leadership deserves its own professional credential
