For those with interest in risk management, auditing, criminal justice, and homeland security, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners grants the CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner) credential, one of the strongest in the industry. My local chapter is in Michigan.
The Project Management Institute provides the PMP (Project Management Professional) credential, which is becoming increasingly important for those wishing to be project managers with many large organizations. The local branches can be very helpful. Mine is in Michigan.
