Packerland/Gleim IMA Chapter Partnership
Your IMA Chapter has entered into a partnership with Gleim to ensure your success on the CMA/CFM exams! We are working together to provide you with the necessary tools that you need to prepare for these difficult exams.
Gleim provides CMA/CFM candidates with an extensive self-study course for both the old and new CMA/CFM exams. Our most successful candidates use the Complete CMA System with the Online Course. This system combines books, software, audio reviews, the Online Course, and a personal counselor (a real live person!) to maximize your available study time. Because we identify and focus on your weak areas, you will not spend any more time preparing than is necessary to guarantee success. The Complete CMA System with the Online Course GUARANTEES that you will pass each section on the first try. We are here to save you time and money.
Because of your membership in the Packerland Chapter, you are eligible for significant discounts on any of Gleim's CMA/CFM materials, as well as our Online CPE. To take advantage of the discounts that are offered, please contact Chris Handley at (800) 874-5346 ext. 134 ().
Welcome to an exciting new way to network with your peers and learn a trick or two at the same time! Discussion meetings will be held once a month in addition to the regular meeting. We will have one night meeting involving a case study. A current IMA member will present a case study of an issue they’ve encountered and how they dealt with it. Q&A will follow.
The remaining meetings will take place via conference call from 12:05 pm to 12:55 pm. A facilitator will bring up questions that have been submitted for discussion and will ensure the discussion stays focused on the topic.
Benefits of Participating in a Discussion Meeting
Ø Discussion will be focused on a particular topic
Ø Learn from each other
Ø Similar to a round table discussion
Ø Additional networking opportunity
Ø Smaller groups, more individual interaction
Requirements of Participating in a Discussion Meeting
Ø You must be an IMA member.
Ø RSVP with a phone number for conference call meetings
Ø Optional: submit any questions you’d like to cover on a particular topic ahead of time
