Charlie Williams and Penny White have been selected to serve as Chair and Vice-Chair of NCMA’s Standards Consensus Body (SCB).
The SCB leads NCMA standards-setting activities and oversees the Contract Management Standard (CMS)™, an ANSI-approved standard that has been adopted by industry and agencies, including the US Department of Defense as the basis for their contract management competency framework.
In 2018 NCMA was designated as an Accredited Standards Developer by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), an internationally recognized third party entity, solidifying NCMA as the foremost standards development organization for the contract management profession. Shortly thereafter, NCMA created the SCB to serve as the heart of its standards program, providing expertise to maintain ANSI accreditation.
“This is a tremendous opportunity to advance the adoption of the CMS™ for more user categories,” said Kraig Conrad, NCMA Chief Executive Officer. “Charlie will carry us forward to the next level with his powerful history in defense acquisitions, and Penny brings in-depth industry experience which is critical to aligning certification standards across all categories of users of the CMS™.”
Williams and White are joined by subject matter experts representing the wide range of CMS™ adopters, including federal, state, local, industry, and commercial contract management and acquisition-related functions.
The National Contract Management Association (NCMA), which was founded in 1959 and is the world’s leading association in the field of contract management. The organization, which has over 18,000 members, is dedicated to the professional growth and educational advancement of procurement and acquisition personnel worldwide. NCMA strives to serve and inform the profession and industry it represents and to offer opportunities for the open exchange of ideas in neutral forums. To find out more, please visit www.ncmahq.org.
