Education Committee 2026

The DMAA Education Committee works to create an education schedule that will be beneficial to the professional viability and success of our members. Members of the Education Committee research and develop educational courses and seminars, and volunteer time at educational events and seminars. The DMAA won the NAA Excellence Award (formerly Paragon Award) for Education in 2010.

The Education Committee meets quarterly on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 10:00am via scheduled Zoom Conference.
