A Word From The New Industry Partner Councils

We thank you for being dedicated members of CACM. As you all know, CACM has programs in place for managers to take courses and earn their CCAM certification to show their dedication to their responsibilities as a leader in the HOA industry. Over the years, we have witnessed the success of this program, and the benefits it has brought to all. It has greatly helped each of our community leaders gain the knowledge, understanding and comfort in their communication with board members, tenants, and co-workers on important topics including management responsibilities, HOA laws, available resources, ethics, and more. We commend you for your time in a position that requires so much patience and attention to detail, and we’re excited to share with you our plans to aid in your continued success.

Knowing the value brought to our communities, CACM decided to create a similar program for the vendors who support you, aka your Industry Partners. The initial step in this journey was putting together two separate Industry Councils, one in the Northern California market and one in the Southern California market.

In those council meetings, we had a nomination and voting process to select your IP Council Chair and Co-Chair positions.

We are happy to introduce your NorCal Chair and Vice Chair: John Rivera, Director of Client Relations of CM Squared, and Megan Wright, Business Development Manager of Saarman Construction. We are also excited to introduce your SoCal Chair and Vice Chair: Chris Booth, Account Executive, Whitestone Industries and Brandy Arrington, Sales Representative, United Protection Industries, Inc.

The councils have reviewed and approved the California Certified Industry Partner program. This course and certification process will mirror that of the managers with the credits, course hours, and requirements. Our goal is to ensure your industry partners have the knowledge and skills to effectively assist you with your needs. The certification, referred to as the CCIP, serves to add an additional layer of honesty and trust on all sides.

Additionally, both the Northern and Southern Industry Partner Councils have added sub-committees in local regions to plan additional networking and educational opportunities in these sub-markets based on collective feedback from managers based in each location. These local committees are comprised of both managers and industry partners in these regions. These committees meet monthly. From roundtable discussions to educational luncheons, and fun outings to charitable volunteer work, we have many upcoming opportunities for you and your teams to join in on the fun.

Let us know what you would like to see!
