PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The Official Publication of CAI New England
hat an amazing year 2012 has been so far. When asked to be President
of the CAI New England chapter in 2011, I was concerned about the
time commitment involved with such a position for one year. As I write
this, summer is drawing to an end and fall is starting to approach. By the time
you read this, autumn will be upon us. My tenure comes to an end in three
months and I cannot imagine where the first nine months have gone. There is a
great deal of excitement coming up in the next several months.
The highlight of the next quarter is the CAI-NE Annual Condo Conference
and Expo on Saturday, Oct. 27. This is the premier event for our chapter. It
provides the opportunity for members, including industry professionals and association
volunteers, to come together and shine. There are several classes, question
and answer sessions with industry experts and endless booths where
association management companies and business partners will preview their services
and products. With the many educational opportunities available at this
free event, I think attendance by condominium boards and owners should be a
priority, and I would even go so far to say this should be an annual requirement
for community association volunteer leaders and owners.
The best part of this event is the coming together of everyone within the
industry. It truly shows the professional side of the CAI-NE chapter and all of
the great members and volunteers that make up the organization. I encourage
all of you reading this to attend the Conference and Expo, whether it is your
first or 100th. There is always something new you can learn at this event.
In my July President’s Message, I wrote of my membership challenge to
“Recruit and Connect.” I am happy to report that our chapter has moved up
one position since that challenge and is now the fifth largest chapter in the
country, trailing the fourth largest by fewer than two-dozen members. I am
proud of this achievement, but not for reasons you may think. We could be 25th
largest, but if we are adding new members it means that more people are
becoming educated within our great industry. Do not get me wrong, I would be
happy to attain the fourth-largest position prior to the end of my term as
President, and with the continued help of our CAI members and Condo Media
readers, I’m sure we will accomplish that together.
Have a wonderful fall and I hope to see all of you on Oct. 27 at the CAI-NE
Annual Condo Conference and Expo.
A Team Effort
W
Sincerely,
Scott D. Wolf, CMCA, AMS, PCAM
2012 CAI-NE Chapter President
