About us. . .

The Caldwell Merchants Association (CMA) was founded in 2007, and is a fully insured and State-registered, federally designated 501-c-6 not-for-profit business association working to:

• strengthen relationships between the merchants and professionals who have businesses in the Borough of Caldwell; 

• attract business to the Borough of Caldwell;

• support Caldwell businesses through networking and seasonal shopping events and coupons;

• assist in the preservation and maintenance of the heart of the community’s heritage; 

• promote pride in the community’s institutions and achievements for the benefit of the Caldwell community.  

Our slogan, “We mean business!” sums up what we are about - helping merchants and professionals to grow by bringing new business to them, or by providing professional guidance to help increase the business they currently have through cost-cutting measures and group rates for advertising, promotions and events.

The CMA is run by a Board of Trustees which consists of the Executive Committee, made up of a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, all of whom are members in good standing and are elected by the members and who will serve until their successors are elected.  The CMA Board also includes three additional members who are also elected by the members.  Block leaders volunteer to promote the CMA’s activities and encourage businesses on their block to attend regular CMA meetings.  Membership is made up of retailers, professionals, and residents of Caldwell and surrounding towns interested in downtown Caldwell.

 Monthly meetings are held to discuss various topics of interest, i.e., cross merchandising, promotions, events, special coupon and ad offerings, loan and grnat programs, etc.
