CACM, as we move back to some type of normality with our events, I'm seeing that in fact we are #StrongerTogether.

We recently completed the majority of the Fall Forums with a great turnout and topics. We also just completed the High-Rise and Large-Scale Summit in Sonoma, and what a great event that turned out to be! I might be biased. I get it. So please have a look on our social media pages or your colleagues' pages to see how they went. This event held great educational opportunities and plenty of time for networking with industry partners and colleagues. Of course, holding the event at the Fairmont in Sonoma didn’t hurt either.

But we’re not even close to being done for the year. There are numerous holiday parties coming up benefiting The Ronald McDonald House, an awesome charitable organization. The Law Seminars are now open for registration. Make sure you register early to save some money and to take advantage of the room block pricing for your hotel reservations! Oh, don’t forget. IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY! CACM turned 30 this September, and we plan to celebrate in style at both our Law Seminars! Vision Awards nominations close November 15th, so please do not delay in nominating one of your colleagues!

Lastly, I am thrilled to announce the coming of a CACM endorsed retirement plan that will be open to ANY management member, industry partner company, or self-managed association where the management are members. While this plan is in process and way too long to detail in a newsletter article, the basics are simple: any member company can have access to our retirement plan. While CACM endorses the plan, each company can design their own plan with preferred investment allocations, matching contribution, etc. There will be plenty of notifications and announcements in the coming months.

It’s our job to make sure we create member added value trends, not just follow trends. I believe we accomplished that by adapting to the pandemic with our virtual world, CMWorld and with our partnership with Cal State Fullerton, this upcoming retirement plan, and many other initiatives in the works.

Be on the look out for them. Join them. Spread the word about them. Because we are #StrongerTogether when we are #CACMStrong.

Until we meet again, stay healthy and happy.

Vision Awards 2022: Nominations Are Open
Earlier this year, we announced the 2021 Vision Award nominees. Our full list of Northern and Southern nominees can be found here. But since CACM's Law Seminars went virtual in 2021, we postponed presenting the winners and awards until we could all gather in person to celebrate together!

What that means is that we will recognize and honor the winners for two years at our 2022 Law Seminars!

We are now accepting nominees for 2022. These awards recognize achievements for this calendar year: from January 1, 2021 through November 15, 2021. Deadline for nominations is November 15, 2021.
Our 2021 Fall Vision Magazine came out last week! In this issue:
