Everything Old

n today’s fast paced, high-tech environment that consumes more of
our time and challenges our expertise, demands better information and
instantaneous results, and tolerates only the fastest and most reliable communication tools available, once-mainstream opportunities now considered “old school” are often overlooked.
In an effort to keep up with the ever-changing needs and demands of
Condo Media readers and CAI members, new and innovative programs and
resources have been introduced, from a digital Condo Media magazine edition and chapter Facebook account, to website posts of industry articles and
educational programs delivered in webinar format. However, while many have
sought out these resources and take advantage of their ease of access, many
more have remained fans of traditional resources including a Condo Media
publication that arrives via U.S. postal service and traditional classroom training that provides real-time answers and real-life interaction with other volunteer association leaders and industry professionals.
As with many things, a reﬂection on where we are and where we’ve been
will often lead to the realization best described in the song co-written by
Peter Allen and Carole Bayer Sager in 1974 that “Everything Old is New
Again.” And in looking to make “new” the “old” tried and true classroom
programming, the chapter program advisory council is seeking new speakers
and program content ideas to add to their offerings of fall programming. CAI
members are encouraged not to forget this now often overlooked opportunity to meet and share their expertise with community association volunteers,
homeowners, and professional managers. If you are a CAI member and are
interested in presenting an educational program, submissions including program outline and length of presentation should be emailed to ccarini@caine.
org for consideration by the committee.
Help us make old school new again this fall.
