Gathering on Long Island, New York in September, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania at Wood Pro Expo in October, and other venues.

Success in the woodworking trade requires a combination of practical skill, creative thinking and professional development. Membership in the Cabinet Makers Association helps you develop all three. Incorporated in 1998, the CMA is the trade association for professional cabinet makers and custom woodworkers, providing opportunities to connect, engage and educate shops of primarily 20 or fewer employees throughout the United States and Canada. Also part of the CMA, Associate Members include suppliers to the industry.

The Cabinet Makers Association has been hosting high-value events since 1998 as a means of connecting similar-sized shops around North America with the purpose of sharing best practices and business acumen, while learning how other businesses do what they do.
