Being a member of CMMA has given me leadership opportunities and connected me with people who I consider influencers. It’s allowed me to learn from some very experienced people, all of whom have been helpful, kind and welcoming. My young CMMA membership (eight months) has provided me with opportunities to step up, say “yes”, and strengthen my leadership muscle. The biggest of these opportunities was being asked to join the National Conference Planning Committee. I’m honored to have been asked and have really enjoyed the experience.

CMMA is an amazing resource for professional media managers. They offer a network of peers that understand my challenges and are ready to provide advice and council at a moment’s notice. Sharing ideas and best practices with an experienced stable of professional media managers enables me to bring best-in-class products and services back to my team. Every time I leave a CMMA event, I feel smarter!

CMMA is at the center of my career life. It is the platform from where I have developed great relationships, friendships, partner connections, technology road maps and leadership initiatives. I love the fact that if I have a question, of any kind, I have a number of members I can call for answers.

CMMA has provided me the opportunity to network with peers in the industry. This networking has been a tremendous help in learning about the challenges similar organizations face and how they overcame them. The National, Regional and Metro events offer a fantastic chance to view cutting edge new tools, techniques and strategies to help my organization succeed.

CMMA definitely helps me be a better leader by providing a great network of people who share their knowledge & expertise with me. I’ve gained a broader understanding of my industry and a great group of people to be my “tribe”. I’m a department of one, so love having a network of like-minded individuals that I can have discussions with who understand my world. They are people who have exactly the same struggles or questions that I have and can provide insights that I might not have though of on my own.

CMMA allows me to network with my industry peers, stay current on the latest trends and keep updated on best practices.  I’ve discovered no matter how large the company or budget, we all face the same challenges. It’s a great place to brainstorm ideas and find real world solutions!
