Introducing the CMA Member Ambassador Program! CMA Member Ambassadors are a specialty group, designed to bring together a diverse, engaged and empowered segment of current Members (across all tiers) to boost CMA's recruitment efforts, spread the word about CMA Membership & generate community excitement around joining our network.
