This is an opportunity to meet your industry peers and establish lasting mutually beneficial relationships. The task forces are led by a CEMA board member and a CEMA staff member. For more information on CEMA and our 2023 Task Force opportunities contact CEMA at membership@CEMAonline.com.
Give Back
Giving back to the local community is important to CEMA and our members. We typically will locate a unique organization in or near the city where we host our annual CEMA Summit . We have met some wonderful people who spend their life dedicated to these local charities and organizations. In 2017 CEMA raised money for Rancho Coastal Humane Society, 2018 CEMA members raised money for the Surfrider Foundation, in 2019 we built and provided over 300 backpack lunches for children in the local area around Las Vegas and after the pandemic in 2022 we worked with Strings for Hope in Nashville, providing both a pop-up shop and monetary contribution during our CEMA Summit.
