CMS BOARD COMMITTEES

There are four (4) committees that drive the work of the CMS Board of Directors and the mission of the organization. The purpose behind all work conducted in this department is to financially support the work of the two district program Boards of Advisors and work to recruit and retain businesses in the available and occupied properties located within the two business focus districts, focus on comprehensive marketing strategies, and oversee administrative policies. Special thanks to all committee members for their dedication to the CMS mission and vision.
