CMDSM/SS Orientation Webinar (28 Jul 2026)

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 17:00:00 GMT

MSMA/AOSP Challenges YOU!

The CMDSM/CMDSS Study Program Series of Webinars

Can change your career...change your life!

It’s an opportunity to learn, show off your skill set,

AND BECOME CERTIFIED!

Join us for an orientation of these two certifications on

July 28th 1pm EST, 12pm CST, 10am PST

Earn your professional certification! Here’s Why:

Review the certification programs, discuss the Study Session program, exam content, expectations, and responsibilities for participants.

Who should attend:

· You want to expand your knowledge and prestige in our industries
· You want to set yourself apart from others

· You want to increase your career opportunities

· You achieved Certification; USPS, MAILCOM, MSMA; now, you are ready for the ultimate challenge and reward

I always felt my performance set me apart from other vendors. But I was looking for a way to differentiate early-on, to help me open the door to engagement with a reluctant client. The CMDSS certification does just that.
