Abstract: We propose a global invariant $sigm{a}_c$ for contact manifolds which admit a strictly pseudoconvex CR structure, analogous to the Yamabe invariant $sigma$. We prove that this invariant is non-decreasing under handle attaching and under connected sum. We then give a lower bound on $sigm{a}_c$ in a particular case.
