Chapter Presidents, Area Representatives, volunteers and local community efforts are an important part of Stop CMV, forming the grassroots foundation of the organization. Events, projects and campaigns may vary among our chapters but they all depend on the creativity and agility of our dedicated staff and volunteers.
