Gary:

As an addition to Blake's point, I would also mention the CRM Mentor 
Program.  As a mentor, I have had a very good success rate (over 90%).  It 
helps hone the Part 6 writing skills as needed.

I'd also run through the ICRM we site, in case you haven't a pull out 
information on your points.

Good luck

Good morning Gary; I have been involved in the ICRM grading process for four 
years.  What I have discovered during this time is that in most cases the 
candidates have the requisite RIM knowledge but not adequate professional 
writing skills, e.g. understanding the target audience, grammatical issues 
etc.  A benefit to the individual pursuing the CRM designation is that the 
candidacy process has the potential to enhance their written skills through 
practice - providing benefits beyond the designation.

Sincerely

Blake E. Richardson, CRM

I've been asked to give a talk to the students in a local university's RIM 
course about the CRM. In addition to discussing the CRM application process, 
I'm going to address three points, about which I'm asking you if you care to 
share your thoughts:

1. Purpose of certification:

2. Benefits to the individual:

3. Benefits to the profession:

Thanks in advance for your input,

Gary
