2019 Message from the President:

On behalf of the CMARC Board of Directors, we are excited to kick off an excellent year in the Mobility industry together! I am so honored and proud to lead such an exceptional organization into what will be a year of great success. We have many initiatives and goals for 2019 and look forward to accomplishing them side by side with our membership.

This year we plan on incorporating your feedback by providing more opportunities to network together, and we’ll offer a Social Event in addition to the Educational Forum each quarter. Look out for those registration notifications! We’ll continue our typical practice of distributing a mid-year survey in order to receive your valuable feedback. You’ll soon notice that the website will undergo enhancements, we’re very excited about this change. As an organization in 2019 we want to continue our philanthropic initiatives through our partnership with Friendship Trays. In addition to working with this local benevolent organization we’d like to announce our new partnership with Move for Hunger! We’ll be building out the Charitable Contribution Committee, if you’re interested in joining please reach out to me, Kati.Keith@sealedair.com.  In order to accomplish the initiatives we’ve set forth for 2019 we need our membership more than ever.
