CMAA member firms are active in markets from South. CMAA is working steadily to deliver training and other support that enhances professional practice and strengthens the CM's ability to contribute to national and regional prosperity. Our SOP receives ever-wider global acceptance, and interest in CM certification overseas is rising steadily. 

We are also discovering, year by year, how much the principles of professional CM can contribute to meeting fundamental challenges affecting the quality of people's lives in the developing and undeveloped world. Professional CMs are increasingly active in projects the world over to improve sanitation, provide drinking water, streamline travel, deliver electric power and communications, and create the basic infrastructure that supports a secure and healthy life. 

Professional CMs have a lot to be proud of in today's world. CMAA and its members will continue to work to assure that the future brings even more accomplishment.
