CMA: Committee Chairs

HOW DO YOU GET INVOLVED IN CMA?

Volunteering for a CMA committee or project is a great way to start. From coast to coast, these CMA committee members combine their talents to serve their fellow advisers and their students. They lead sessions at CMA conventions and workshops, coordinate non-member speakers, report for CMA publications and respond to the challenges that face media advisers, be they newcomers or veterans. Their committees meet twice yearly, at the Fall National College Media Convention and the Spring National College Media Convention. To volunteer, contact the committee chair or associate chair.
