Association History

MAACM held its inaugural conference in 1993 alongside the National Association for Court Management (NACM) in Baltimore. Since then, it has hosted annual conferences every October in accessible locations for its members. Notable venues have included Dewey Beach and Dover in Delaware; Lancaster, Split Rock Resort, Hershey, Lake Harmony, Seven Springs Mountain Resort, and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; Atlantic City, Cape May, Cherry Hill, and Long Branch in New Jersey; Virginia Beach and Williamsburg in Virginia; as well as Ocean City, Cambridge, and Baltimore in Maryland.

As a not-for-profit organization, MAACM keeps its dues and conference fees affordable, allowing many court personnel to participate and benefit from these valuable educational programs.
