Dear CMARC Membership,

As 2020 finally comes to an end, the CMARC Board of Directors want to take a moment to thank you so much for your continued enthusiasm and involvement during this very trying year. We value your participation and support every year, but this one was special for sure. As always, our goal is to provide opportunities for education and networking, and we hope you agree that, even with the challenges we faced this year, we were successful!

We now look into 2021 and our commitment to continuing to provide learning opportunities for our members.

2021 Board of Directors

This year we say good-bye to a few of our cherished Board members who havebeen with us for several years, sharing their time, talents and creativity with unending energy. A big thank you to Kati Keith, Renee Daniels and Michelle Scott for their dedication. We also want to thank our Advisory Board members Cathy Whitener and Shawn Sweeney for sharing their experience and providing their encouragement and guidance.

While always sad to say good-bye, we are excited to welcome our newest Board members for 2021, Catharine Pappas, Alex Romeyn, and Ryan Wetherington along with two new Advisory members Suzanne Lail and Laurie Steinemer.  

Julie Molloy will officially hand off the microphone to Kristen Leggett as President of the Board. We want to thank her for her leadership and humor during this “unprecedented” year. The rest of the Executive Board will be announced in the New Year.

Membership Renewals

Despite the uncertainty that continues into 2021, the Board has plans for programming, charitable opportunities, relationship-building and hopefully in person networking! Our membership renewal reminders will be sent out next week, so be on the lookout for your 2021 invoice. Membership fees will remain at $100 for Corporate members and $250 for Service Providers.

Sponsorships

While we tried to recognize our invaluable sponsors as often as possible, including in our fun CMARC Swag Bags, we recognize that they did not get the full value out of their sponsorship. It is, therefore, the decision of the Board to rollover sponsorships* into 2021 with our heartfelt thanks for your continued backing of our organization.  

If you are not already a sponsor and wish to become one, please reach out to our Sponsorship Chair, Paula Holloway, for information about sponsorship opportunities.

While we can’t say exactly what it will look like yet, we are looking forward to 2021 for another fun-filled year of educational events and networking!

And with that….

On behalf of the 2020 Board of Directors, we want to wish you all a safe, healthy and happy holiday season!

Many thanks to our generous 2020/2021 Sponsors
