CMA To Hold Regional Event In North Boston

The Cabinet Makers Association (CMA) announces they are holding a regional event June 13-14, 2019 in North Boston. The two day event consists of shop tours, educational seminars, and networking opportunities.

The CMA has been hosting high-value events such as this 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.

The event host is CMA board member Ken Kumph from Premier Builders. Each day will begin and end at his Georgetown, MA shop with educational presentations from industry experts on topics such as cyber security, ways to reduce your shop’s energy bill, as well as lean principles and implementation strategies. Then the group will depart for a visit to The Furniture Institute (Beverly, MA) and several local shop tours including Curtis Cabinetry (Georgetown, MA) and Jackson Millwork & Lumber (Raymond, NH).

The event is sponsored by Atlantic Plywood, Colonial Saw, Federated Insurance, Hoffmann Machine Co., KCD Software, and REHAU.

The registration fee per person is $75 for current CMA members and $125 for non-members. Registration includes lunch and dinner on Thursday and lunch on Friday.
