CONDO MEDIA * OCTOBER 2014

Full Schedule Ahead

A

utumn is here - my favorite time of year. It's also my busiest time of
year with people coming back home after summer vacations and picking up the phone with new issues that were left on the backburner
for the summer. Our chapter is no different.
We're having a full fall schedule of programs that kicked off with the Annual Condo Conference & Expo in Danvers, Mass., where an exhibit hall of
industry suppliers and educational programs addressing the speciﬁc issues of
board members, homeowners, and managers in all our New England states
provided a full day of invaluable resources.
Additional condo forums in Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, and New
Hampshire covered topics from maintenance and insurance to rules enforcement and disaster management.
The ELN committee is working on the annual holiday social to be held in
December, and the banquet committee and golf committee are making plans
for the 2015 awards dinner and tournament. Committees and boards are
working on new programs for the coming year and preparing budgets.
One special note: I was particularly happy with the terriﬁc turnout at the
end of summer managers' social held at CBS Scene at Patriot Place. What better way for our managers to get 3 continuing education hours for CMCA and
AMS than to have some food, drink, and networking opportunities.
As I stood on the balcony, looking out into Foxboro Stadium, I was hoping
that by the time this message is published in October, the Pats would be at
least 5-0. Here's hoping that both my team and my chapter enjoy a successful
fall season.

Sincerely,
Frank A. Lombardi, Esq.
2014 CAI-NE Chapter President
