About Becca Korman, CPSM<\/h3>\n
Title:\u00a0<\/strong>Senior Coordinator, Business Development<\/div>\n
Firm:<\/strong> Holder Construction<\/a><\/div>\n
SMPS Chapter: <\/strong>Washington, DC<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Number of years in the A\/E\/C industries: <\/strong>6<\/p>\n

How has SMPS helped you in your career? <\/strong>I joined the industry by chance, and had no construction knowledge. Being involved in SMPS is helping me gain the knowledge and learn the industry to do my job well. I have also seen SMPS is a spider web of connections and I am slowly noticing how many relationships are connected. I have been a member for less than a year and am excited to see how I can benefit from meeting others in the industry.<\/p>\n

Share a helpful hint with your fellow SMPS members: <\/strong>Be confident in everything you produce and don\u2019t take negative feedback personal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tell us something we\u2019d be surprised to learn about you. <\/strong>Once you meet me, it is not a surprise. I am a huge Virginia Tech fan and have traveled to all the home football games since graduating 6 years ago.<\/p>\n

Tell us about a recent work day:\u00a0<\/strong>My morning started with our national marketing meeting to discuss opportunities around the country. My pursuit workload is light at the moment, so I helped with an American Express proposal due this week in Arizona. I also started to prep for Holiday Card management and worked on internal communications for the region via our digital message boards in the office.<\/p>\n

As a CPSM, how has certification benefitted you?\u00a0<\/strong>Getting my certification has helped my opinion have a little more punch behind it. Not that my opinion was never heard, but I feel more confident in my own opinion and can stand behind it. One goal I have set since getting my certification is to eventually have a recognized distinction of marketing and business development in my firm.<\/p>\n
