Why is CCS co-located with NMTA?
During the evolution of both organizations, it made sense to share both space and to some degree staff. In fact, the co-location provides a synergy of complementary services that assist NMTA members who are likely users of some of these services. However, these are independent organizations. NMTA is managed by a board of directors composed of members.
