We enjoyed gathering with advisers and students from CMBAM member schools for the 2023 CMBAM convention in Minneapolis! Check out photos and recaps of the conference happenings:
The judges have reviewed the entries in the annual CMBAM contest and selected the winners. The schools listed below have at least one entry that placed in the 2023 competition. Entries were judged by a group of professionals volunteering their time. Winners will be announced Oct. 14 during the annual convention in Minneapolis with an awards ceremony and closing reception at The News Room.
Entries are now being accepted for the 2023 CMBAM contest! The deadline to enter is July 14.
Check out the contest rules to find the categories and requirements. Then log in to the CMBAM website to submit. Entry forms will appear under the award tab of the menu only when logged in to the website.
The annual CMBAM awards are open only to current members. If you’re not a member, sign up now, and your membership will be extended through the following school year. If you are a member, keep an eye out for your renewal notice this summer.
