The Colorado State Managment Association (also known as Colorado State Managers Association or CSMA) was founded in 1986. This group of innovators chartered the Association and set its purpose, goal, and theme: "There exists within the State of Colorado a group of persons responsible for the various management and related functions of State Government. Their activities can be improved by a common association to be called the Colorado State Managment Association. The Association's goal is to improve the quality of Colorado State Government for the benefit of the citizens of Colorado within the field of State management."

CSMA's Objectives

	To unite professional state employees in government service for constructive endeavors.
	To encourage improvement of services to the public.
	To improve management within State government through the promotion and use of methods and techniques that improve control and accountability to the public; and to further the observance of professional standards and criteria while managing State activities.
	To contribute to the improvement of education in the field of government management
	To share information on new developments in management and administration among members.
	To improve communication among state employees in the three branches of State government.

Who are we?

CSMA members come from many backgrounds and disciplines. They are current and future state employees who rely on CSMA to represent the interests of state managers and to provide an information clearinghouse on key issues affecting Colorado state employees, allowing them to tap into a vast resource of ideas and to provide feedback and information to decision-makers within all three branches of State government.
