The following are guides for assisting you in organizing a CDM. These materials will be updated from time to time, and
new materials may be added, so please check back.
HOW TO ORGANIZE A CDM
The hardest part is getting it scheduled—so
act now. EVEN if you are not planning it for another 3-6 months, it’s still important to plan early. Doing one in association
with a regional event of lunch/dinner flyin can also work. We regularly do one the day before Migration.
1.Find a room that will comfortably hold 20-30 people at a local FBO or airport terminal facility.
2.Select two or three dates (Saturday mornings are best but not sacred; Plan 9 AM to 2 PM; the seminar
runs from 10-1:30 with breaks including lunch).
3.Contact CDM National Chairperson to discuss dates and availability of facilitator on one of your dates.
4.After dates and facilitator
confirmed, review the organizers/facilitators checklist.
5.Your local expenses are reimbursed by COPA & Cirrus (see expense guidelines)
