We had so much fun at the Northern California Law Seminar and Expo! I truly hope the event was successful for you. We learned a lot from the first award ceremony and after party that we have held in many years. As I have said in the past, the first event is always the test for the success of next year.
So, next year, according to the surveys and emails we have received, we plan to hold the award ceremony in conjunction with a sit-down dinner. That is what we have heard from you in NorCal. In SoCal, please make sure you send us your surveys at the end of the Southern California Law Seminar. I know they can be a pain, but they are vital to us in development of our programs.
I also want – no – I
need
your help in the development of our programs in 2021. Sure, we’ve been doing it for years and can put on a pretty good show. But your input and guidance is what helps us make these events successful. From the educational programs, to the lunches, to the award ceremony and the after-party. We were asked by you, industry partners, to come together to hold joint events instead of all the separate parties chasing down the same group of managers. So, then, attend the after-party with us! Not only that, help us develop and define that event to make sure it accomplishes our mutual goal: a networking event that has some glamour to it, is fun and exciting, and all in one location.
All you need to do is send me an email to
tfreeley@cacm.org
and I’ll make sure you’re added to the planning committee. I look forward to seeing our Southern California members in a couple of weeks at #SCLSE!

Interested in getting more involved in CACM?
As we begin 2020, it is once again time to reach out to our members in an effort to bring your “voice” to our planning processes. Do you enjoy collaborating with colleagues to shape the educational opportunities CACM provides to our members? Do you long to put your writing talents to use by authoring an article in one of the CACM publications? Are you interested in joining our elite group of instructors who ensure that CACM managers have the skills and knowledge needed to lead our industry?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we need you! Beginning in March, the CACM committees will reconvene. They include:
- The Credential Advisory Committee – members provide advisement regarding the development of as well as improvements in the credentialing and accreditation processes. This year’s efforts will focus on MCAM, specialty designations and our re-established partnership with the Department of Real Estate. Committee members will be required to participate in a ZOOM/conference call every other month.
- The Education Advisory Committee – members provide advisement regarding the development of future courses, revisions of current courses support to course instructors/facilitators. They may also be called upon to review course materials prior to opening the course up to members. This year’s efforts will focus on the MCAM fieldwork project and presentation, the revisions to the specialty courses and the possibility of developing a “badge" system recognizing the completion of specific course series. Committee members will be required to participate in a ZOOM/conference call every other month.
- The Ethics Case Study Editorial Committee – members are responsible for writing and/or securing ethics case studies for use in one of the CACM Ethics courses. This year’s efforts will focus on adding to the existing case study library and the potential initiation of an Ethics Journal publication. Committee members will be required to participate in a ZOOM/conference call every other month.
- The Law Seminar Advisory Committee – manager members are responsible for identifying the topics for the 2021 Law Seminar, for serving as the liaison between the CACM Education team and the presenter panels. As liaisons, they work with the panel members to keep them on track as defined by the monthly logistic timeline. For example, it is the committee member who ensures that the panel schedules planning sessions and practice sessions in preparation for their breakout session. Committee members will be required to participate in a ZOOM/conference call every month.
- The Instructor/facilitator cadre – cadre members are required to complete an instructor application that is reviewed by the CACM Education director. Once approved, incoming instructors are required to audit the course they are qualified to teach and then co-teach that course before receiving their official assignments. Interested members may request an application at any time throughout 2020.
