About Education Day

Protocol and the Government Meeting Professional

NC SGMP is offering of Education Day attendees the opportunity to earn a certificate in Protocol Training.

It is no secret that competition in today’s business arena has grown by leaps and bounds, making it imperative that the protocol skills known in the diplomatic  and government world be deployed in the business arena to remain competitive and successful.  Knowledge of business protocol is necessary for enhanced customer relations and global business development.  We must be an envoy for the agency, firm or organization we represent, equipped with a knowledge and understanding of the business and social customs and cultures of those whom we are negotiating – whether within our own culture or internationally. 

This program will deliver a stronger awareness of operational protocol practices for the government meeting professional through specialized training with an emphasis on business etiquette, official government precedence and its application to official events, hosting VIPs, Flag Protocol and working with the US Military.   

A certificate of completion will be issued by SGMP.
