MaryBeth Kurland, CAE
"Having worked more than 20 years with associations of all different types, I've learned that people are seeking professional development for themselves, but they also want to feel a sense of belonging to something bigger."
MARYBETH KURLAND provides leadership for the Commission by supporting CCMC's strategic mission and vision. She manages relationships with likeminded organizations and oversees business development as well as the Commission's programs, products and services. She works directly with the Board of Commissioners, building its corps of volunteer and subject-matter experts who directly support and evaluate certification and related services. Prior to becoming CEO, Kurland served as the Commission's chief operations officer, and was staff lead for the development and launch of the Commission's signature conference, the CCMC New World Symposium®.

"Having worked more than 19 years with associations of all different types, I've learned that people are seeking professional development for themselves, but they also want to feel a sense of belonging to something bigger," Kurland says. "CCMC is not a membership organization; we're a certification body, and in that capacity I think we bring much to the table in terms of common purpose and community. Our tradition and common history make CCMC stand out and underscores the opportunity to build awareness and professional pride in the practice of case management."
