BBB’s mission is to be the leader in advancing marketplace trust. BBB accomplishes this mission by:

-Creating a community of trustworthy businesses
-Setting standards for marketplace trust
-Encouraging and supporting best practices
-Celebrating marketplace role models, and;
-Denouncing substandard marketplace behavior

BBB sees trust as a function of two primary factors – integrity and performance. Integrity includes respect, ethics and intent. Performance speaks to a business’s track record of delivering results in accordance with BBB standards and/or addressing customer concerns in a timely, satisfactory manner.

BBB ensures that high standards for trust are set and maintained. We exist so consumers and businesses alike have an unbiased source to guide them on matters of trust. We provide educational information and expert advice that is free of charge and easily accessible.

BBB Accreditation is an honor – and not every company is eligible. Businesses that meet our high standards are invited to join BBB. Businesses meeting BBB standards are presented to local Boards of Directors (or designees) for review and acceptance as a BBB Accredited Business.

All BBB accredited businesses have agreed to live up to our Standards for Trust. Our Standards for Trust are a comprehensive set of policies, procedures and best practices focused on how businesses should treat the public – fairly and honestly in all circumstances.

BBB does not compare businesses against each other, but rather evaluates businesses against our standards – and our standards clearly speak to the character and competence of an organization.

BBB is the resource to turn to for objective, unbiased information on businesses. Our network of national and local BBB operations allows us to monitor and take action on thousands of business issues affecting consumers at any given time.

BBB is your key advisor, most reliable evaluator and most objective expert on the topic of trust in the marketplace.

The Communications Marketing Association (CMA) membership is comprised of the leading manufacturers, manufacturer’s representatives and distributors in the wireless communications industry. While CMA offers value to these professionals on a year-around basis, the core value is found in the annual Communications Marketing Conference (CMC) event, which has been held for thirty five years. CMA also maintains a database of manufacturer’s reps, distributors and manufacturers, which is valuable to public safety, government and industrial wireless buyers.

Participants in the CMC engage in a dynamic and well-orchestrated event designed to maximize the opportunities for training, education and networking. Manufacturers find CMC to be a convenient, concentrated opportunity to hold classroom style training for their manufacturer’s reps and distributors on new products and company initiatives outside of the distractions of a trade show or the expense of an on-site meeting at their offices. For leaders in wireless, it’s a must-attend
