Great Way to Meet Professionals with New Local Chapters
CLM, with the help of its membership, has created a number of new local chapters to increase the opportunities to meet, network, and collaborate with members of our Community in your own area.
For those in Florida, there are three new local chapters: Miami who had their inaugural event in October 2025; Orlando who held their first event in November 2025; and Fort Lauderdale who will have their first event on March 4.
If you are based in Baltimore or Charlotte keep an eye out for your respective debut events on March 12; with Cleveland having their initial event on March 19. And, finally, both Los Angeles and Nevada have plans to relaunch their local chapters early this year.
