CMA International Awards
CMA's international membership together with industry executives are asked for their recommendations for the International CMA Awards. A review panel then determines from these recommendations who will be the nominees in each category, taking into consideration the number of recommendations received
as well as eligibility. A confidential panel, made up of domestic and international industry executives are then balloted and the final results presented to the CMA Board of Directors for approval.
