“I just wanted to thank you for all your efforts for a great Annual Conference for ESPA. It was truly one of the best I have attended in terms of content, logistics, networking, local hosting, etc! There were so many top-level speakers that were engaging with timely content. I thought the leadership track was great and something the organization has needed for a long time. Thanks for all you do to make ESPA so great! How many associations can claim that nearly 2/3 of their membership attends the Annual Conference?!? Great job!”

“I have never been the Chairperson of such an event before and it was made so much easier with all of the preparation and assistance provided by ICMA [CMA] staff. The recruiting and vetting of speakers, all of the logistics of the venue, the preparation of the “script” were all first rate! All this effort created a dynamic event that I think is just the start of a great new membership opportunity for ICMA. I really enjoyed working with all of you on this! You have built a really great organization and I’m proud to be just a small part of it!”

CMA has consistently provided excellent customer service and has followed up and communicated well at every step of our involvement with them. Their work has been creative and efficient, and we have used them for multiple projects over the last few years. I can easily recommend them and we intend to continue to use them ourselves.
