Despite this organizational shift, CAMA’s core vision and values remain unchanged as they have been for the last 58 years. The organization continues to strive to be the dynamic national alliance connecting Canada’s agri-food marketers and communicators, fostering professional growth, industry knowledge sharing, and community engagement. The spirit that has driven CAMA’s success at the provincial level will continue to guide the national body.
CAMA looks forward to continuing its tradition of excellence while embracing this new chapter of growth and national collaboration.
