Testimonials

“CNAM’s 1-day Asset Management Awareness Workshop offered by CNAM proved very applicable to our organization. While a number of our City staff have previously participated in various Asset Management training opportunities over the past year, this particular Workshop went a long way to tying it all together for us. The team were well informed in the subject matter, presented the information in a very professional manner and maintained a pace that kept everyone’s interest. I would recommend this workshop for any staff member or elected official wanting to become better informed about sound asset management practices.”
