Membership and Member Benefits
President & CEO’s Perspective: Fishing
Hello CMAA! Throughout my career in association management, each organization I have been with has always had an advocacy-related role at the federal or state level. We would regularly conduct member fly-ins to DC; had a team of association staff working in a federal and a state legislative affairs department; and, for one organization, were responsible for educating new members of Congress on the intricacies of the financial markets via our foundation.
Help Grow Our Association
It’s hard to believe that we’re almost halfway through the year. Do you know someone at your club who could benefit from being a member of CMAA? If so, encourage them to join today! CMAA National dues are $250 ($212.50 for Alumnus) through August 31. The application process is now all online!
For more info, send prospective members to us to help grow our Association.
