Check out Avis D. Dickey, D.B.A., M.S.'s CMBA™ credential issued by MBA Standards Board

Issued by

MBA Standards Board

The MBA Standards Board sets the global standard for what an MBA credential means. We certify qualified business leaders through verified, registry-registered credentials, independently verifiable, AI-searchable, and built for the future of work.

Description

The CMBA™ designation, which stands for Chartered Master of Business Administration, represents the pinnacle of modern business credentialing, reserved for accomplished professionals who have already earned a traditional MBA degree or equivalent doctoral-level credential, including JD, MD, or PhD, from an accredited institution, and who have gone further to demonstrate that their expertise is not only comprehensive but current, verified, and precisely aligned with the skill demands of today's AI-driven global economy. Where a traditional MBA diploma captures what a professional learned at a point in time, the CMBA™ is a living credential, one that signals to employers, executive recruiters, and boardroom decision-makers that this individual has done the rigorous work of translating foundational graduate business education into the specific, searchable, machine-readable competencies that drive hiring decisions in 2026 and beyond.

Awarded exclusively by the MBA Standards Board, the independent governing body that sets the global standard for what an MBA credential must mean in the age of artificial intelligence, the CMBA™ layers advanced specialization, verified AI literacy, and a mandatory ethics framework on top of an already elite academic foundation, producing a credential that speaks fluently to both human recruiters and the algorithmic systems they increasingly rely on to surface top talent.

This is the designation for the MBA professional who refuses to let a decade of earned expertise become invisible in a LinkedIn search, who understands that the future of work belongs to those who combine deep strategic mastery with the forward-facing fluency that modern organizations demand, and who has made the deliberate, verifiable commitment to continuing education, and ethics to lead at the highest level.

This credential is independently registered with Credential Engine on the Credential Registry, a public database confirming exactly what this credential means and requires, separate from MBA Standards Board's™ own information about it. View the official registry listing here:
