Four Escambia County Tax Collector employees have graduated from Florida’s Certified Public Manager program.

The four CPM graduates are:

  • Lisa Scruggs, director of human resources
  • Marie Bumgarner, assistant manager
  • Melissa Hogan, assistant manager
  • Candice Lewis, senior deputy tax collector

The CPM program is a nationally-recognized leadership development program currently offered in 38 states and by the federal government. Its purpose is to develop more effective public managers. Graduates complete a rigorous two-year program, consisting of 32 days of classroom instruction, supplemented by comprehensive homework assignments and exams.

Florida has one of the largest and most successful CPM programs in the country, with over 6,600 graduates – more than any other state. More than 100 agencies, including city, county, state and constitutional offices, have participated in the Florida CPM program. The Florida Cabinet has recognized the program as a “preferred management development program.” The CPM program is administered by the Florida Center for Public Management at Florida State University, which is part of the Reubin O’Donovan Askew School of Public Administration and Policy.
