The CMA awards program (dubbed the “Wooden Diamond Awards”) was first offered to the membership in 2010 as a means for CMA members to be recognized by their peers. After the first awards ceremony was held at IWF in Atlanta, GA that summer, the program’s results were clearly seen. Not only did this program create a means to promote excellence in woodworking and cabinetry, but the members that participated and won awards were able to use their achievement in their local marketing program to promote their respective business in their area. This created yet another benefit to membership in the CMA. The CMA was founded on the principles of sharing one’s experiences and ideas with other members in an effort to promote success and professionalism in the woodworking/cabinetry business. This award program allows yet another outlet for that purpose to be fulfilled. As members view each others’ work and accomplishments, ideas are exchanged and the flow of information continues. As potential clients and others view the listings, they should be rest assured that all entries were provided equal grounds for participation and judging. All judging was done by non-participating members of the CMA, assuring that the results were scrutinized by professionals. The members represented here, thank you for viewing these results. By looking at the projects displayed here, you should be able to catch a glimpse of the talent that we have in the CMA. Congratulations to all the winners! |
