In 1999, the Board created the Board of Directors’ Citation as a means to express a higher level of recognition to individuals and institutions for their accomplishments or service to CMA. These citations bear the signatures of the entire Board of Directors. Traditionally, Board of Directors’ Citations intended for CMA members are distributed during the annual advisers’ awards ceremony at the Fall convention. The number of citations, if any, and the recipient(s), requires a majority vote of the Board of Directors.
