NCMA Fellow

The NCMA National Board of Directors established the category of NCMA Fellow in July of 1966. The Fellow designation is reserved for NCMA members who have made significant contributions to the field of contracting and to NCMA. The Fellow designation is among NCMA's most prestigious awards, granted only to those members who have used their talent and experience to benefit both the Association and the contract management profession. Nominees for the award are evaluated according to their level of academic training and experience in contract management, teaching and publishing efforts, participation in educational events and conferences, and service to NCMA.

Fellows Charge

• Participation as a member of the Council of Fellows and as an active member of your local chapter.

• Contributions to efforts to enhance and expand the professional acceptance of NCMA membership and certification.
