The Household & Commercial Products Association (HCPA) will host its Mid-Year Meeting as a virtual event on Monday, May 24 through Thursday, May 27. The Mid-Year Meeting is normally held in-person at The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. However, due to continued health and safety concerns regarding COVID-19, this year’s event will be virtual.
“While I’m disappointed that we can’t meet in-person, I’m confident that this is the right and safest choice for our members, vendors, staff, and the local DC community,” said Steve Caldeira, president & CEO, HCPA. “The staff is working hard to develop an excellent meeting, featuring the high-quality content that attendees deserve and have come to expect from HCPA.”

In an unrelated announcement, Caldeira received the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Council of Manufacturing Associations (CMA) 2020 Leadership Award during CMA’s virtual Winter Leadership Conference. The CMA Leadership Award is presented every year to an association leader who has done the most to advance and expand the group’s influential work.
“Steve has been a powerful force for CMA recruitment and retention," said Jay Timmons, president and CEO, NAM. "He’s convened his peers and colleagues in timely CMA discussions and has been an indispensable voice for CMA among the broader association community.”
Timmons also applauded Caldeira’s work in proactively and effectively responding to the coronavirus pandemic on behalf of the household and commercial products industry, and his overall guidance of the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) as chair of the board of directors, as well as leading the search committee for a permanent CEO.
“I’m very proud to receive the CMA Leadership Award, especially in a year that manufacturers played such a critical role in fighting the coronavirus pandemic,” said Caldeira. “It has been a challenging and unprecedented year for the business community, and I’m honored to have been recognized as a leader among so many talented and inspiring colleagues.”
With a membership of 260 national manufacturing trade associations representing 130,000 companies worldwide, CMA creates partnerships across the industry, amplifies manufacturers’ voices, and connects members to experts and trade association executives.
