California Meeting Management Program (CMMP)

Effective immediately, the Department of General Services is eliminating the California Meeting Management Program (CMMP) and CMMP staff are transitioning current meeting and event workload back to you, our client agencies. Additional information is included in the attached memo from the Office of Fleet and Asset Management Chief, Brent J. Jamison.  If we are working with you on a program, we will contact you directly to ensure a smooth transition occurs.

On all future events you will need to work closely with your own Contracting, Procurement/Purchasing, Business Services and Accounts Payables Offices.  We urge you to be proactive in contacting them now to work out a process.  Please don’t wait until the last minute.  Below is a list of attached resources that may be helpful.
