You asked for a stream-lined, modern take and we’ve delivered. The updated site includes changes to navigation by adding dropdown menus for both mobile and desktop views of the website. We’ve also improved the layout of the information, presenting it so you can read it quickly and dive in for more if you choose. One of our favorite updates is the addition of more photos of actual CMAA members throughout the site. There are a bunch of smaller but impactful changes.

Your old favorites are there – becoming a member, adding to our collective genealogy, merchandise, and clan history. Our events are now listed on our embedded Google calendar but also on the individual state page. If you can’t find something you know was there before, let us know and we’ll do our best to help!

Our Webmaster’s new favorite is the CMAA Blog which is designed to share time-sensitive information, announcements, and extend the reach of The Galley. The blog will be authored by multiple voices – look for multiple CMAA members to share articles about travel, useful websites, or even tidbits of clan history. The CMAA Blog is tightly coupled with our social media channels so you can see that information on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or Google+.

As a CMAA member, you will also be able to sign up to access ‘member’ content – like forms, scholarship applications, and eventually our CMAA genealogy research. We are still building this section of the website so more to come in the upcoming Galley.

We hope you’ll stop by often, let us know what you like, and share your suggestions for improvements or information to add. The website is a ‘living’ site and we’re adding new stuff all the time. Let us hear from you!
