2.2 Organization History

CMBA was founded in 1974 as the Connecticut Motorcycle Dealers Association. In 1992 the name was changed to the Connecticut Motorcycle Business Association to allow motorcycle accessory shops full participation in the Association. The name was changed again in 1995 to the Connecticut Motorsports Business Association in recognition of the other motorsports products, such as personal watercraft and ski mobiles, that our members sell and service.

2.3 Locations and Facilities

Since its inception, the CMBA's office has been that of its president. Since the mid-1990's, however, a paid executive director/association management firm has provided housing for the CMBA's office. At this time we have a modest website and are planning a phone line separate from that of the executive director.
