How can we help you today? The Society is committed to providing web site services for members that will facilitate your learning and your ability to do your job. Are you managing a project team that needs a private web forum for communications? Would you like to use a web based project management system for your team? Do you require a temporary e-mail list server? Does your team need a web based group calendar for scheduling? Is a web page needed for your project? Or, do you need a web based contact form like the one below? As a member of the DC Society of Certified Public Managers, you may obtain such assistance from the Society, using our existing resources and website.

We will provide you with access to our web facilities for services such as those above, or others within our joint technical capabilities. Whether you are currently in a CPM program or a graduate needing assistance to improve public services, let us know how we can help you. We will even help you maintain communications with the community groups that you work with as part of your job.

The requirements to qualify for such assistance are simple: In general, your request must relate to either CPM class work or your professional work. You must be a member of the Society. And, if new costs are involved, you must provide the appropriate funding; however, you may be surprised by what we can do with the systems already in place or with freely available software.

If you have a project in mind, or want to know more about how we can help, please contact us using the form below. Provide us with a brief description of your needs and time frame requirements, and complete contact information. Be sure to include your correct e-mail address, and include your telephone number in the body of your message.

We are here to serve our members and, in turn, the public through our membership and Society activities. So, again, let us know how we can help.
