Director’s Message

By: Mr. A.J. Keefe, CAI-Greater Inland Empire Chapter

Membership is on the upswing and we are motivated to keep it moving in the right direction! We currently have 627 members which we here at the chapter office see as very positive news considering in the darkest days of the pandemic we dipped down into the 500s. Know the potential of the region we, along with the incoming Board, are pushing to become a large chapter in 2022 which means we need to eclipse the 750 member mark.

In order to accomplish such a goal we believe we need to continue to provide value to all of our current members by way of high level education, quality in-person events, relevant printed material, and legislative support. While we work to provide that foundation we will depend on the reach of our members to cast the net of outreach and get more folks to join.

Building off of such a resilient 2021 should answer the questions that any perspective member may have. This was proven by hosting 18 in-person events, eight virtual events, publishing four periodicals, activating new social media properties, ever-improving our website, and having what some have dubbed our most successful legislative year-to-date. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to RISING UP even more in 2022!
