The Global Chapter Development Committee (CDC) is the central coordinating body for CMT Association’s worldwide network of chapters and communities. This committee provides the strategy, support, and standards that empower our local volunteer leaders to build vibrant communities for members in their geographic regions. Our Association’s international growth accelerated in the 2010s, driven by dedicated volunteers. The CDC was formalized to provide a structure for this organic expansion, ensuring that as chapters were established from London to Mumbai to Singapore, they all had the central support and strategic guidance needed to succeed.
The mission of the Global Chapter Development Committee (CDC) is to serve as the central architect and chief coordinator for the CMT Association’s entire worldwide network of Chapters and Communities. We provide the strategic vision, foundational standards, and vital support necessary to empower local volunteer leaders across every continent. Our primary purpose is to ensure a consistent, high-quality member experience everywhere, from major financial centers to emerging markets. We value local relevance and global cohesion. By building a unified, professional framework, we enable local leaders to cultivate vibrant, engaging hubs for networking and education, ensuring that every member, regardless of location, can actively participate in the professional life and growth of the Association.

Understanding Groups and Gigs
A Group is an ongoing, strategic body of volunteers who collaborate on a defined mission over an extended period. Groups have formal governance, defined membership, and regular meeting cadences. Joining a group means becoming part of a team committed to driving long-term impact within CMT.
A Gig is a short-term, tactical assignment with a clear deliverable and timeline. Gigs are ideal for volunteers who want to contribute their expertise to a specific task without a long-term commitment. They are time-boxed and goal-oriented.
