CMA is a leader in issues management, public relations, strategic facilitation and marketing communications specializing in food and agriculture. Founded in March, 2004, CMA quickly established solid relationships throughout the food chain.

Over time, CMA's professional integrity and demonstrated abilities in public relations, strategic planning, group facilitation and public speaking has strengthened these relationships and provided opportunities to overcome some of the most challenging issues in the industry.

CMA has extensive experience in building and facilitating coalitions and stakeholder engagement including: The Agriculture Coalition engaging the National Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production, the National Pork Welfare Coalition and similar efforts in the dairy industry.

CMA helped create the Best Food Nation coalition to separate fact from fiction, and to set the record straight about the Unites States food supply. The coalition includes 20 national associations from the food and hospitality industries.

Today CMA has offices in Missouri, Iowa and North Carolina and continues to grow. Our team of seasoned and candid professionals has worked with regulators, academia, corporations, and others across the supply chain to deliver meaningful results for our clients.
