New CMAA Members Drawn by CCM, Training

摘要

Standards, convenient training options, new ways to retain and reward staff, and the opportunity to benefit from the combined experience of the entire CM industry-these are some of the motivations that have prompted major organizations to join CMAA in recent months. The New York City Housing Authority is an example. Raymond Ribeiro, PE, executive vice president for capital projects at NYCHA, said his agency joined CMAA because "the goals of the organization are perfectly aligned with our goals. "As a government agency," he added, "change is often very difficult. Just staying current and having the opportunity to see what others are doing to help deliver projects more effectively is difficult. Then, actually adopting new policies and procedures that can take advantage of industry advancements is often looked upon as 'risky.' CMAA not only provides us with the ability to stay current but provides support or 'proof,' through real life examples, that these advancements do actually work."
