Paying the Bills
Thanks to Ray Smith, who was a visionary CMCA member who championed the need for education to improve the Colorado Trucking Industry’s pool of trained managers and technical experts. The Ray Smith Scholarship fund has assisted many students over the years and furthered Ray’s goal. The Safety Management Council, Maintenance Council and Allied Conference give generously throughout the year to the Scholarship fund. We appreciate CMCA companies that have contributed; there is always a need for more contributions.

Training Opportunities
CMCA Offers a rich variety of training opportunities for both members and non-members. The modern CMCA training center in Denver is the location of most seminars. As demand warrants, CMCA also conducts seminars at other locations around the state. Take a look at this year's seminars on the training page.
2012 CMCA Convention
A highlight of the CMCA year is the annual CMCA convention. It is a chance for members to network and renew their knowledge of CMCA programs and successes.
The 2012 annual meeting will be held September 20-22 at the Ritz-Carton Bachelor Gulch, Avon, Colorado at peak fall foliage.
CMCA staff is working to line up speakers for the event. Online registration will open in June 2012. There is a dedicated page on this website to provide details of the convention.
