CAI-NE Managers’ Committee Delivers

T

he industry of community
association management
is complicated, challenging, and ever changing. For
professional managers, staying connected and keeping informed about
day-to-day best practices, new technologies, and available resources is
extremely important. The CAI New
England chapter managers’ committee has become a tremendously
important peer network for professional managers from around New
England to share ideas, address
industry concerns, and seek solutions to management problems —
big and small.
Over the years, this longstanding chapter committee has seen a
number of significant transformations, but none more “transforming” than what has taken place over

yet similar challenges and frustrations.
Committee Chair Patrick Holland, CMCA, AMS says, “I joined
the managers’ committee two
years ago in order to become more
involved. This committee and the
changes it has taken on in the past
year have really opened my eyes
to a lot of different ideas. It also
gives you the opportunity to ask
questions of an audience of peers
with an extraordinary amount of
expertise. I can’t think of anywhere else in this industry where
you can go and hear peers discuss
relevant issues specific to your
daily workday and provide feedback based on real life experiences.
These meetings are geared toward providing an open forum to
discuss unique issues or challenges
that we as managers or CEOs are
faced with everyday.”
The managers’ committee meets
on a regular bi-monthly schedule
and is open to all CAI New England chapter manager members in
good standing. For more information about the committee and how
to become involved, contact the
