One Day at a Time

losing on the ﬁrst quarter of 2014, the New England Chapter and
Condo Media continue to look to the future and each day focus on the
goals of this year's volunteer leaders. At the annual leadership training held in January, board members and committee chairs gathered to
establish a list of priorities for the coming months. The dialogue was engaging
and identiﬁed some common themes from expanding programming and outreach to all chapter states to the addition of chapter staff and other resources to
support a growing membership with differing demographics.
In 2014, CAI members in the chapter states of Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont will see a number of programs, including training workshops for volunteer board members as well as more targeted
seminars for professional managers. In addition to our regular and more
recognized chapter communications via Condo Media magazine, emails, and
brochure mailings, attention will be given to broadening our reach through the
chapter's social media sites, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube.
More volunteers than ever are working to support the substantial number of
member beneﬁts that will be made available in 2014 along with the addition of
more stafﬁng resources at the chapter ofﬁce.
I hope you will join us as we work to make CAI-NE the best chapter that
it can be today and tomorrow. Each day we will work toward achieving these
goals because as best said by Abraham Lincoln, "The best thing about the
future is that it comes one day at a time."
