Hang in there! 2021 is in sight!
We recently conducted a survey of all members to gain your perspective on in-person events. The general opinion across all membership categories is that everyone wants in-person events. The part that is dramatically different is the question of “when.” Managers across California are telling us to hold off on in-person events. Industry Partners are telling us to hold in-person events.
But how do we hold in-person events and seek your valuable sponsorship support when managers aren’t ready? Well, we are exploring a few different ways to pivot in this environment. As decisions are made and we roll out plans, I will make sure you are informed as fast as possible.
I don’t have a crystal ball to tell me what the future holds. Whether we like it, believe it, or agree with it, social distancing will likely be around for some time. Each one of us has to consider our own perspective, and should respect others' perspective on social distancing.
So, we start small and see what happens. If you want to partner with CACM on a small event, like lunch or dinner outdoors, we’ll love to join you in that effort.
But we also recognize that many of you have asked for information on, or requested to register and attend, one or more of our educational courses. We heard you. We are developing plans for an Industry Partner Accreditation with classes exclusive and specific to Industry Partners. This recognition will tell our industry you have taken the necessary steps to better educate yourself on our industry in order to provide your clients the best resources and solutions. Please watch for information seeking your input on which courses you would be interested in and would offer you the most value.
Stay strong as we all weather this C-19 pandemic. Let’s work together to find workable solutions, interesting small-sized events, or just fun ways to stay connected and engaged. I look forward to seeing you soon, either virtually or in-person!
Tom Freeley, CAMEx, CCAM
President & CEO

Although our logo was designed to showcase the “V” for “Vision Awards,” we find a new meaning to our “V” in 2020—VALUE! There has never been a more important time than now to value members of the community management industry for their hard work and dedication to their profession through a Vision Award nomination. Recognition carries such weight in these challenging times and there are ‘super heroes’ among us. A Vision Award Nomination is the ultimate way to recognize them for a job well done. |
