Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
s I sit down to write my last president’s message, I look back at quite a year. So many things have happened around the world and in New England. One being all the crazy weather we have experienced. Vermont was hit the hardest by Hurricane Irene, and Rhode Island was under water as well. Then we had a tornado in the Western part of Massachusetts. And a Halloween snowstorm across the New England area left many communities without electricity. This past year has been just as crazy dealing with federal regulatory agencies and the changes impacting banks and loans. What a year it’s been! So many people have come up to me or emailed throughout the year expressing how CAI-NE has helped them or their association during these troubled times. This was a year that the annual chapter resource directory has come in handy to have on your desk to help. It has been an honor to be the president of the New England Chapter of CAI, and I can’t believe my term of 12 months is already ending. I had such a great year and learned so much. I am so excited to be a part of some of the new things that are going on with the chapter, one being The Emerging Leaders Network (ELN). As a member of the ELN committee, our first gathering was after the sold-out CAI-NE annual condo conference and expo this past October. I met so many new faces in the industry and they were from all over New England. It’s great to see our chapter grow and move forward with the times. I hope that in 2012 we see more people come out and volunteer and get more involved. So as my last note I will leave you with a quote as I have in the past year ...

“In every community there is work to be done. In every nation there are wounds to heal. In every heart there is the power to do it.” – Marianne Williamson

Sincerely,

Beth Tramontozzi 2011 CAI-NE Chapter President
