What does SBE Certification mean to you? |

Director of Engineering/MIS KIIM/KHYT/KSZR/KTUC/KCUB SBE Board of Directors
SBE Chapter 9, Tucson, AZ
To me SBE certification means that I am keeping up with technology and standards that are set by leaders in our industry. My goal is to stay current with all certifications that are applicable to my job requirements.
What does certification mean people that interact with me?
It means that I have taken the extra step to prove that I am fully capable of dealing with any situation in my field because I have met the criteria that has been set for the various certifications that I hold.
