President's Message

How did we “spring” forward to spring already? It’s barely the end of March and we have already completed the NorCal and SoCal Law Seminars. Good heavens time flies when we’re having fun.

For those who attended one or both Law Seminars, I hope you had a good time, and learned something new you didn’t know before you went. We had packed assemblies, breakout sessions and expo halls. Most importantly, I hope you carried the conversation forward! If we elevate each other, we elevate our entire industry! That elevation begins and continues with conversations.

Have any challenges you need help with? Have a conversation with a colleague or one of our expert Industry Partners. Have a solution to a challenge? Share it with a conversation! We all run across various challenges in our careers that we’ve never seen or experienced. But I can assure you, someone has had that experience and can help, or someone needs your solutions. When it comes to elevating the industry, and each other, it’s not a competition. You shouldn’t be concerned with sharing your experiences with colleagues outside of your bubble. We ALL need to help each other.

Legislation: Some legislation has a direct impact on our management-specific industry. One bill that could be very advantageous for an HOA, can have a very real negative impact on managers and management companies. Take a read of our legislative update on pages 18 and 19 of this issue, where CACM lobbyist Jennifer Wada shares the current bills we are monitoring, supporting and opposing. If you’re a manager interested in legislation, join our Legislative Committee.

Have you heard CACM is expanding over the next two years? Have you heard about the development of localized committees for your local market? We could use your help. Reach out to us and we’ll guide you to the right person.

Communication & Unity = Community. We’re all in it together, so let’s help each other. Let’s elevate each other. Let’s elevate our community, together!

I look forward to seeing you very soon!

Thomas Freeley, CAMEx, CCAM, President & CEO
