CDMA Business Model Alumni Legacy Network ™
Built with Excellence. Protected by Integrity.
About Us
CDMA Business Model® Academy of Greater Washington is a part of the CDMA Business Model® ecosystem where young people and emerging leaders build real-world skills through applied creation, leadership, and workforce-aligned pathways. We don’t just run programs we cultivate talent, protect standards, and build legacy.
Love for Community
The CDMA Business Model Alumni Legacy Network exists because excellence should have continuity.
We’re rooted in a nearly 100-year family legacy of economic empowerment and creative work — and we operate with high standards, high care, and high integrity. That means we don’t treat alumni like a list. We treat alumni like a living network of builders whose success reflects the strength of the ecosystem.
This community is the bridge between what you built here and what you’re becoming next.
Our Commitment to Your Success
We are committed to staying connected to your growth with intention, alignment, and respect.
