Top Contributors

There are 4 levels of contributor achievement:

  • Bronze - 10,000 Engagement points

Top Contributor achievement levels are based on your lifetime points (they don't reset after any period of time).  Check out the top contributors for ACMP Connect's first year!

But, wait - there's more!

You can earn other fun ribbons and badges through a number of participation avenues with ACMP and ACMP Connect, including:

  • Earning your Certified Change Management ProfessionalTM (CCMPTM) credential

You can see all the badges you have earned and can earn by visiting My Profile > My Contributions > Achievements.  Earned badges appear in full color, while achievable badges appear slightly transparent.  Hover over each badge to learn how it can be earned! When other community members visit your Achievements page, they'll see only badges that you have earned.
