Digital Badge
CGFMs can use a CGFM digital badge to display and verify their credentials.
List of Active CGFMs
If you want to confirm an individual’s CGFM designation, the lists below can be used for initial verification.
Please note: The lists are not all-inclusive, as some CGFMs request that their names not be published. CGFMs who have earned their designation within the last five weeks may also not be listed.
Contact us if you are experiencing the following:
- If you cannot find someone on the list, or if your information differs from the information on the list.
- If you need additional information, such as the award date or certificate number, AGA will require you to send us a release form.
- If you are an active CGFM and you do not wish your name to be included on this list
Use of CGFM
Below are important policies on the use of CGFM:
- Active CGFMs: Only active CGFMs may use the “CGFM” after their names.
- Inactive CGFMs: Inactive CGFMs may not present themselves as CGFMs either in writing or orally; any reference to the CGFM designation on a resume, bio or other statements of qualification must indicate that the CGFM is inactive.
- Retired CGFMs: Retired CGFMs must indicate their retired status by using “CGFM-Retired” after their names and using “Retired” or “Retired status” on a resume, bio or other statements of qualification. Individuals who have had their CGFM certification voided may not present themselves as CGFMs either in writing or orally. They must remove any reference to their CGFM designation on a resume, bio or other statement of qualifications.
- CGFM candidates: CGFM candidates may not use the CGFM designation after their names until they receive an official award letter from AGA. The CGFM designation may not be used after the name of those who have not earned the CGFM.
Misuse: Misuse of the CGFM designation must be reported to the AGA’s Office of Professional Certification at cgfmdirector@agacgfm.org or 800.AGA.7211 and may be referred to the AGA’s Professional Ethics Board as a potential ethics violation, or to AGA legal counsel, as appropriate.
