Editor's Link

MR. A.J. JAHANIAN, ESQ.

Looking back on prior years’ Editor’s Links, the common theme was to reflect on a year of “change” and adaptation or innovation, in response to challenging circumstances created by such change. This year, it goes without saying, that the pandemic was the true embodiment of change, and our vibrant community was challenged like never before.

What became clear immediately was that the Greater Inland Empire’s community leaders were undoubtedly up to the challenge. As new and confusing government guidelines were issued, board members and managers needed to be quick to adapt and react, on short notice. Navigating the pandemic also required CAI-GRIE to innovate new ways to keep our community engaged and connected, through various digital technologies, events and the like.

While the pandemic remains a part of our lives at this time, we look forward to trekking ahead through collaboration and unwavering teamwork. This final issue of Connect magazine for 2020 revisits some more common, yet important community association themes and reminders, as we get set for the new year.

After serving as your Editor of Connect magazine during an unprecedented year, I am reminded what a pleasure it is to do so, alongside countless community association leaders in the Greater Inland Empire.
