Who We Are

The Connecticut Maritime Association (CMA) is guided by a volunteer board of officers and directors drawn from across the industry, including shipowners and operators, brokers, towing and tanker companies, and maritime service providers. Together they shape the Association’s programs: monthly luncheons with industry speakers, our member newsletter and Job Mart, a year-round calendar of social and sporting events, and our support of the CMA Education Foundation. They also oversee CMA Shipping, the Association’s annual conference and trade show in Stamford, Connecticut.

Meet the people behind the CMA below. This is your Association, so we encourage you to reach out with your ideas, questions, and feedback.
