A Conversation with Denita Schreier

In this episode of Voices of CFMA, we are joined by Denita Schreier, CCIFP, Executive Vice President & CFO of WDS Construction, to celebrate CCIFP Month and explore how earning the Certified Construction Industry Financial Professional designation can transform a career. Denita shares her journey from walking into her first CFMA meeting — one of only two women in the room — to taking the inaugural CCIFP exam under extraordinary personal circumstances. She talks about how the credential has shaped her confidence, expanded her professional network, and even inspired her to launch her own consulting practice. Whether you’re considering the CCIFP or just want to hear how CFMA’s community can help you grow, this episode is packed with insights, encouragement, and a few personal stories that will stick with you.
