very interesting. are you saying the AIIM is setting up there
certificates become eventually a certification similar to the ICRM?
as far as I can see the credentials being requested are not as broad
as one would think . i see positions advertising for the PMP and not
others, or the CA (certified archivist) and not a CRM.

well from my personal experience the CRM has resulted in increased
responsibilities and compensation levels over a 25 year career. Since
achieving the designation in 1988 every position that I have applied
for has stated either CRM required or preferred. I think others can
say the same thing.
the designation is not an end state, but it is the beginning of a
long journey dedicated to learning more and acquiring new skills. When
i explain to people what it takes to achieve the designation let alone
qualify for it they are amazed.
I seriously doubt that the designation will become irrelevant not when
you seen special seminars being run for candidates, and the number of
applicants increasing
