The goal of the Communit y Association Management as a Career Program is to recruit new skilled and educated people to the CID industry and for them to consider community association management as a career. A severe lack of community managers in the Coachella Valley has placed burdens on management companies, associations and the entire CID industry. In January 2017, the Professional Manager Committee met for the first time and discussed the major issues impacting manager members. It was decided that there was a pressing need to bring more managers into the industry. The committee investigated CAI and other CID organizations to see if they could find a brochure that described community association management as a career and found nothing specifically designed for their need - to recruit people from outside the industry. They prepared a proposal for the CAI-CV board to develop a brochure and poster that could be sent or delivered to career centers. In March, the process of drafting the brochure began and was completed in April. The board approved the brochure and a budget of $1,000 to cover printing and mailing costs. Rodney Bissell Design Studios was hired to do the layout. The finished brochure was completed in June. The Committee received approval to host an open house career day at the new CAI-CV classroom on September 25, 2018. The committee decided to use the new brochure and poster to invite career seekers to CAI-CV to hear firsthand about community management. To engage the management companies in this recruiting process, the committee invited the CEOs of ten management companies to attend and co-present to whoever showed up on the 25th. Committee members researched and
