What do current CMAs say?
Glen LeBlanc, CMA
Chief Financial Officer, Bell Aliant
(Halifax, Nova Scotia)
“The CMA program is structured to give you leadership competency and to develop your technical skills, of
course ... but also to develop your business acumen – and that was of critical importance to me, to have all
the piece parts.
"The CMA designation has given me the credibility and foundation that allowed me to move through the finance
functions quite rapidly in my 12-year career thus far.“

Shanna Lespere, CMA
Deputy Director
Bermuda Monetary Authority
(Hamilton, Bermuda)
"The CMA designation has not only provided me the necessary technical elements but also the strong management
component.
"This combination has proven to be extremely valuable in my career thus far. It has provided me with an
edge allowing technical soundness but also allowing me to add value from a management perspective to the
various organizations during my career."

Cassandra Dorrington, MBA, CMA, CMC, FCMA
President
Vale & Associates HR Management and Consulting Inc.
(Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada)
“Whether working in the Caribbean or across Canada, the CMA designation has proven to be a
differentiating factor in the selection of my firm to deliver key products.
Personally, I feel that my years of work experience overlaid with my CMA training have equipped
me with the necessary tools and strategies to successfully deliver on the key strategic leadership and
management issues as identified by my client base."

Brian Horne, CMA
Finance and Administration Manager
Schroder Cayman Bank and Trust Company
(George Town, Cayman Islands)
“Today's economy is truly global. Daily, I deal with our parent in Switzerland and sister operations in
Western Europe, US, and the Caribbean on matters ranging from finance and reporting matters, treasury
management, to IT initiatives -- and I believe the CMA gave me the skills required to operate within such a
global organization.
"While all designations cover technical skills, the CMA stands out for its Strategic Leadership Program --
where I learned to build and foster the professional relationships that define today's business environment.
Despite technology, it's people who get things done -- so if you fail to manage relationships with
staff, clients or colleagues you'll never be at the 'top of your game'. The CMA program taught me how
to be at the 'top of my game'."
