Last fall, many of our colleagues in our Corporate Credit and Accounts Payable Departments joined the Institute of Financial Management and began pursuing the institute’s Accounts Receivable Specialist/Manager and Accounts Payable Specialist/Manager certifications. Stephanie Allen, who achieved her Accounts Payable Manager certification, noted that these experiences help us “think strategically about how we can continue to improve and evolve our processes as a team.”
We agree! By prioritizing continuous improvement opportunities, our teams take ownership and raise the bar for themselves and our company. We are proud of our Corporate Credit and Accounts Payable team members and asked a few of them to share their thoughts about professional growth and their experience with certification.
Tonya Cornell, Accounts Payable Technician Vendor, recently earned her Accounts Payable Specialist certificate. She shared that professional growth is not a spectator sport: “To me, professional growth means taking advantage of every learning opportunity available, and if those opportunities are not offered, it means being willing to find them.”
Julie Neidholdt, Accounts Receivable Administrative Assistant, recently earned her Accounts Receivable Specialist certificate. She emphasized the value of applying new knowledge to her current role: “I value the opportunity to see the broader process and gain insight into the full scope of cash applications and receivables.”
Susan Clark, Accounts Receivable Admin & Reporting Specialist, recently earned her Accredited Receivables Manager certificate. She highlighted the importance of her team’s encouragement: “My supervisor’s faith in my ability to reach this goal and the support of my teammates helped me stay committed to getting through the course.”
Congrats to all our teammates who earned certifications!
