The objective of CMCA is to be a useful resource to the Christian meeting planner, as well as to foster friendships among planners and suppliers through both national and local events. It is our goal to build a network of support, ministry-sharing ideas and convention and meeting planning ideas.
As the association grows, CMCA plans to become an umbrella that provides a variety of information to the planner.
Currently, CMCA provides these services:
-
Annual Spring Showcase, to which all suppliers and members are invited. The showcase offers education, a tradeshow, devotions and lots of fellowship.

Annual Fall Retreat, to which all suppliers and members are invited. The weekend retreat focuses on building relationships and spiritual renewal.
