From the Roundtable

What has your year been like, so far? Have you attended classes to further your education? Mixed and mingled with your peers at Regional Forums? Been inspired at a Summit? I certainly hope so, as CACM exists to assure that “Members Enjoy an Environment Necessary for Professional Success.”

It has been an interesting year so far at CACM. It started with the board of directors holding a Vision Retreat to reconfirm our organizational purpose, to recommit to the goals of the organization and ultimately make the decision to change the leadership. We embarked on a search to retain someone that we believed could definitely lead CACM to the next level of service to you; our members.

To that end, we are excited to welcome Tom Freeley as CEO and President. Having Tom join as CEO was a unanimous decision by the board and we are excited about our new direction.

In the last issue of Vision magazine, attention was focused on our educational programs. While there has been much “vision conversation,” it is time to see the results of those conversations. In that regard, an advanced ethics class has been

developed and attention is being devoted to upgrading other core courses. Watch for additional information.

CACM has also begun a dialogue with the Department of Real Estate to determine what is necessary for our classes to once again provide DRE continuing educations credits. So – much progress on these two fronts.

One other area the board believes is important is to bring back the “sparkle, shine and joy” to our events. The educational and social events will return to their previous level of enthusiasm, engagement and just good ole fun! Please feel free to approach me or any other board member or CACM team member as we continue to grow, improve and meet your needs as a professional community manager.

Thank you for your ongoing support, dedication and enthusiasm for our profession. It truly is an exciting time to be of service to our clients!

On behalf of the CACM Board, Carra S. Clampitt, CAMEx, CCAM-LS.AA.PM, Board Chair
