CMA CELEBRATES 125TH ANNIVERSARY

摘要

The Chemical Manufacturers Association—which meets this week for its annual meeting at the Greenbrier in White Sulfur Springs, W.Va.—is a venerable institution. Formed by 14 sul-furic add makers in 1872, it claims to be the nation's oldest continuously operating trade association. In addition to being old, CMA is also capable. Driven by the needs of an industry under the cloud of both stringent government regulation and deeply ingrained public distrust, the association has blossomed during the past 15 years or so into one of the most professional and respected lobbying groups in Washington, D.C.
