We’re coming back to you LIVE and in-person! That’s right, while it will be slow starting, we are planning our late spring, summer and the rest of 2021 events IN-PERSON.

Okay, I’ve said it for a year now. We know not everyone is ready to get back to in-person events. We know that there are a lot of people that will continue to feel safe with social distancing and masks. Because we completely respect everyone’s different perspectives, our events are all being planned with that in mind, and staying in compliance of the current CDC and local health mandates.  

But, there are also a lot of managers and Industry Partners that are more than ready to get back to in-person events and gatherings. Every day on social media I see our members more and more at events and getting back into the world. 

It’s important to note that this is event driven. Our education will remain remote and virtually in CMworldTM, the amazing virtual platform we developed for our members until such time comes as we feel we can start moving education back to in-person. That will be a slow transition and electronic classes will still be available for those not yet comfortable with in-person courses.

Our job is to make sure that we address the interests and needs of ALL of our members to the best of our ability. In order to address that responsibility, it’s important for us to pivot and offer events in person for those ready. Watching the news and reading the reports of Covid-19 updates and vaccines, like the rest of Californians, coupled with the facts that it takes months of planning in-person events, the time is now, or rather in May. 

Our Executive Leadership Summit is being held in May at the Loews Coronado Resort. We are starting our plans for 3 golf tournaments in the fall: in San Diego, Orange County and in Danville (NorCal). We are planning the fall forums in-person. We are working on one-day education and expos. We are planning holiday parties. This will all be available on our website in the coming weeks. 

2021, Here. We. Come! “See” you soon!
