Why I Am A CMA Member

We have benefited from the up-to-date and useful information obtained through the CMA Newsletters, association with other professional cabinetmakers and their associates. The access to other’s information, points of view and suggestions through forums has been an exceptional resource. The CMA consistently challenges its members to participate in marketing, education and training.

Kenneth Kumph, Premier Builders (Georgetown, MA)

Joining the CMA accelerated my business’s growth and efficiency. I was able to navigate concerns before they became pitfalls, because larger CMA shops who already experienced these things helped guide me on a safer, more profitable path. The CMA is like having hundreds of business mentors at my fingertips.

Gregory Paolini, Gregory Paolini Design (Canton, NC)

Being a member of the CMA has enabled me to look beyond the four walls of my shop and really expand on my knowledge of the process of being a cabinetmaker. Traditional practices can become solidified or questioned by other cabinetmakers who really care that you’re are doing what is right for your specific needs.

Keith Kreppein, Olde Saratoga Millwork (Wilton, NY)

The CMA has provided our business with great networking opportunities not only in our area but nationwide. The resources on the forums have been a boon for some of the more unusual challenges. Everyone has been great to work with and we can only hope to give back as much as we have received. 

Kanda Alahan, Rivendell Woodworks (Concord, CA)

Being a member of the CMA has provided me with the resources to become more efficient and provide a superior product to my clientele. I have learned how to present myself as a true professional, and receive repeated compliments from clients as to this professionalism.
