Ladies & Gentlemen,

It has been an honour to serve as the 85th Chair of CPMA. I have been proud to represent such a prestigious Association, which planted it’s roots in 1925, and has grown to 700 members from 13 countries. Today, our Annual Convention & Trade Show attracts approximately 3000 delegates and over 240 exhibitors from Canada, the United States, Mexico and many other countries.  This growth represents the confidence of the Trade, and recognition of the value that CPMA brings to its membership. more...
