Chris Dehmer elected to Cabinet Makers Association Board of Directors

IMG_5387We’re happy to share the news that Dark Horse Woodworks’ Chris Dehmer has been elected to the board of the Cabinet Makers Association (CMA), the association for professional cabinet makers and woodworkers in the United States and Canada.

The CMA is a professional organization enabling “cabinetmakers and woodworkers from both the residential and commercial markets [to] get together and share their hard earned knowledge and experience to help one another.”

Chris was elected to join Mike Mitchell of Burger Boat in Manitowoc, Wis., and Keith Smith of Keith Smith Custom Builders in Greer, S.C., as members-at-large on the board of directors.

Dark Horse joined the CMA just a few years ago, and we’re proud to have had our work recognized in all of the organization’s Wood Diamond Awards competitions that have taken place since then; the CMA awards covering our walls are great marketing tools for us because they tell prospective clients that our work lives up to the high standards of our peers in the industry.

(You can read about some of our CMA-award-winning projects here and here.)

“Being part of the CMA has given Dark Horse the opportunity to connect with and learn from many stellar wood-working businesses across the US and Canada,” Chris says. “Dark Horse was just a few years old at the time we joined and I didn’t have a background working in a shop, so it’s been invaluable to learn from other CMA members and be part of such an active and educational organization. I’m honored to be able to join the board and become more involved.”
