As I look out on the 5 freeway, I see an increase in traffic. I can see optimism in our new norm. I see anxiousness to get back to work. I see opportunity. 

I believe that every challenge has an alternate opportunity. It’s up to each one of us to identify that opportunity and grab it when we can. Now, right now, is your opportunity. Show your community managers, fellow team members, and client community the importance of who an Industry Partner is. What an Industry Partner does. You adapt. You overcome. Dealing with challenges and problem resolution is what you do, every day, all day.  

Okay, you might not be doctors, nurses or first responders in the traditional sense of the term. However, when that pipe breaks at 3:00 AM, you’re the first responder to that challenge. You ARE an essential worker to that community and that manager. 

As the world around us tries to identify the best ways to move towards normality, each one of us will have a different perspective on what that looks like. As communities start to find ways to open up the common areas and amenities, each community will have a different perspective on that process. Work with the manager. Offer your expert professional guidance. You might have to tell a manager or a client board that their directions don’t comply with state or local mandates or they might conflict with legal counsel’s recommendation. 

Now, right now, be that leader. Be that community essential worker, that first responder to the community and manager challenges. Be that professional Industry Partner, that unequalled resource to managers that you are. We are #StrongerTogether. We are #CACMStrong.

With Tremendous Thanks, CACM Announces
Our "CACM Donors"
As most of you are aware, the SCLSE20 was forced to be canceled the day of the event, based on an executive order from Gov. Gavin Newsom restricting gatherings. What has transpired over the last few weeks has been truly magical and a testament to the commitment of our Industry Partner members who support CACM's offerings to managers across the state.
 
Currently, the individuals listed on our new CACM Donors page represent those Industry Partners who graciously donated their exhibitor and sponsorship fees to CACM to ensure we are all #CACMStrong in these difficult times. We hope every member will visit their websites, seriously consider their services when/if you are in need and thank them properly via an online review.
