The Importance of Becoming A CMA Member

“I have been a member for almost six years, but I had been coming here previously for four or five years before I became a member, and when I became a member, everything changed for me. I started to meet so many people, so many vendors, and so many great resources. If you are in this industry this is the number one place to get your education on constant updates of what’s going on.”

Angelica Gardner

Asher Evan Investments

“I think CMA is a valuable, educational, and networking resource for us at Trilion Capital. I come here and I get all the latest legislative updates and if you think you know the rules of the environment where we’re working in, you’re probably wrong because the rules keep changing and we need to stay on top of that. It affects all of our planning, decision making every day. CMA has brought together a panel of experts, a lot of attorneys, and so that’s a valuable resource. So a great place to be and start and continue and grow your business.”
