After covering their meeting expenses and setting aside a prudent reserve, certain groups discover that they have surplus funds to contribute to the CMA service structure. Your meeting has the autonomy to determine the allocation of these funds among the various entities of CMA. There are no strict guidelines or obligations regarding this decision. While some meetings may not have the financial means to make contributions, others may be able to do so. The addresses for donations are provided below for your convenience. We encourage you to consider supporting the CMA service structure with any surplus funds your meeting may have.
