A New "Chapter"

he CAI-New England chapter is no stranger to "transformation." Over
the years I have seen the chapter grow in size and scope through good
times, when the industry has prospered with new condominium development and eager association volunteer leaders; and more challenging
times, when communities around New England have faced economic hardship
and new government mandates.
Each year brings with it exciting opportunities and new challenges for CAI
that demand careful strategic thinking and thoughtful evaluation by volunteer
board and committee members in order to write the next successful "chapter"
in the book that is CAI-NE. From a ﬁve-year plan that has guided the work
of the CAI-NE and Condo Media boards resulting in expanded CAI programming and resources to a broader New England marketplace, to an experienced
professional staff that continues to grow and support all the chapter's efforts,
the tools are in place to manage whatever comes our way.
As we prepare for the next big chapter in our book and welcome to our
membership roster CAI New Hampshire members (see story on page 20), we
look forward to bringing to this newest CAI-NE chapter state local chapter
beneﬁts and services. With the support of thousands of CAI members and
Condo Media readers around New England, our opportunities are endless and
our accomplishments are reality. I encourage you to be part of writing our
future "chapters" and volunteer today.
Wishing you a bountiful and happy Thanksgiving.
