CMAA Wellness Challenge
We are excited to support you and your mental and physical health throughout Conference. This year, we are launching our CMAA Wellness Challenge, brought to you by the Club Wellness Community and The Club Foundation, included with your conference registration.
You’ll be rewarded with points as you complete a range of wellness activities, from traditional running, yoga, and walking to drinking a glass of water, checking in on a friend, to taking a five-minute movement break. We’ll be offering prizes for the top-scoring participants after the conference.
And good news! If you’re registered to run in The Club Foundation ClubLove 5K, you’ll get points for those miles!
Can’t attend conference? That’s okay! You’re still able to participate virtually. Simply register for the challenge and log your activities.
Wellness Challenge Warm-Up: In February, you are welcome to start using the Challenge platform to get acquainted with the system. All points earned during this timeframe will reset for February 23 for the Conference Challenge!
Wellness Challenge Dates: February 23-28
