2011 CMA World Conference is now in the final planning stage.
Registration will open soon.
The 2011 CMA World Conference will be held beginning Thursday, March 3rd, 2011, in Phoenix, AZ. at the Radisson Hotel Phoenix Airport.* Cost of rooms is $99** per night until the cut-off date of February 10th, 2011. This rate can be extended out 3 days before and/or after the Conference however after February 10, 20011 the rate of $99** per night may change.
The primary event will be the General Services Conference, the main forum where delegates from recognized Areas from over the entire fellowship meet to discuss, debate, issues of major importance to our Fellowship. The Conference acts as the effective voice of the Fellowship and provides spiritual direction to the Board of Trustees in their execution of the day-to-day activities of CMA. Therefore, it is critical that we have as many registered Delegates as possible attend the Conference.
As always, every member of CMA is invited and encouraged to attend. However, only elected Delegates can cast a vote.

Who is a delegate?
Delegates are individuals elected by their respective Areas to attend the Conference, carrying the voice and the vote of the area’s groups. Information on electing Delegates can be found HERE. An Area is explained in the CMA Service Manual as a state, ae: Colorado, Arizona, Texas. Each state is an Area. For a detailed explanation please read and study the CMA Service Manual.
Please note that the method of electing delegates has changed from 2008. The 2008 General Services Conference approved the Conference Charter, which specifies how Delegates are to be elected, so the 2010 Conference will be using this new method. In summary, one Delegate will be elected from each Area Assembly. Currently, each state and province is allowed one Area Assembly, so the result is that each state or province is allowed to send one Delegate to the Conference.
Be mindful – the word “Area” may cause some confusion in certain places. Many parts of the country use this word to describe various combinations of groups, but for the purposes of the Conference, we are using the definition provided by the CMA Conference Charter and the CMA Service Manual.
More information on Delegates and Area Assemblies can be found HERE.
