What a journey 2007 has been for CMAA and for me as your president! Before I began my official term, I paid the customary visit in January to National Headquarters in Alexandria, VA, where I met with our CEO, Jim Singerling, CCM CEC, Kathi Driggs, our COO, and all of our staff to begin planning for my year as president.
