Thank you! So many of you have been incredibly generous in response to my call for help after the last-minute cancellation of the Southern California Law Seminar and Expo when Governor Newsom mandated to limit the size of gatherings. If only he made that difficult decision earlier in the week!
However, his decision was made, like our decision was made, with the safety and health interest of all Californians in mind. Accordingly, we are now living and working in a virtual world. Zoom has become the median for everything from team meetings to regular happy hours. The world is becoming cleaner and we are all reminding ourselves of the importance of family and loved ones, all while struggling to understand how we move forward with work.
This too will pass. In advance of that, please let me know if you have or know of a large warehouse or similar space centrally located that can be donated for a free mini-expo. When our restrictions are relieved, we want to offer a training class for a couple of hours to managers, followed by a free expo, followed by a happy hour--a real happy hour.
Feel free to email me at
tfreeley@cacm.org
and let’s talk about ways we can all move forward successfully. Until then, please stay safe and healthy.
Tom Freeley, CAMEx, CCAM
President & CEO

2020: The Year of Digital Publications
As our world becomes increasingly virtual, CACM is delighted to share we're responding to these changes with digital publications that bring the same quality content directly to members' inboxes. Here's what you can look forward to in 2020:
- Fully interactive publications (Resource Guide, Vision magazine, Law Journal) providing embedded links directly to the Industry Partners showcased and the ability to share an issue with clients, friends and colleagues.
- Searchable content. Looking for a mention in Vision magazine or The Law Journal? Simply click on the magnifying glass and search away!
- And MORE! With this switch to digital delivery, CACM will expand each issue with more news, articles, trends, trusted Industry Partner offerings, and solutions to the challenges managers in California face on a day-to-day basis.

Antis Holds Blood Drives
Antis opened up its Irvine, California, offices for two blood drives this month on April 6 and April 13. “It’s an honor to provide 6,000 square feet of office space at Antis Campus for American Red Cross Desert to the Sea Region Blood Drives this month,” the company said on social media, adding that thousands of blood drives have been cancelled due to growing Coronavirus concerns, which have contributed to a blood shortage. Social distancing practices were observed and donors were checked at the door before entry. Antis said that 81 patients would receive the blood they needed as a result of the first drive.

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. From this outpouring of generosity, CACM has created a new way for members and the public to support CACM through donations.
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. Their generous acts of kindness and paying it forward are so appreciated. From the entire team at CACM and the Board of Directors, thanks to each and every one you!
