Quotes from some of our members about CMA benefits
“Like other members have said, I only wish I had joined sooner.

Wood - Douglas & Wood, Inc.- Chicago, IL
“You realize that you are not alone in this endeavor….cabinetmaking. You have colleagues (and friends) in most every state. You know that you can call at any time, if need be.” ~ Doug Smith – Certified Woodworking Co. – Raleigh, NC
“Having the opportunity to share what I have learned the hard way through seminars, roundtables, and writing has made me a better person – both professionally and personally.” ~ Jim McDermott – Avvento, Inc. – Deer Park, NY
“The collective technical knowledge and business knowledge of the CMA members is extremely impressive.” ~ Charles Kurak – C. Kurak Custom Woodworking, Inc. – Amelia Island, FL

"The ability to learn from the mistakes of others not only shows the willingness to improve ones business, but the eagerness to learn, as well.
