Please join me in congratulating Gordon Goetz, CCAM, your new Board Chair. Gordon has a long history of service: He has been a part of the CACM Board for a total of 10 years and has had great success in the past as the Chair from 2011-2012 and Vice Chair in 2014. I couldn’t be happier to pass the torch to him again. Gordon will be supported by Vice Chair Kathryn Henricksen, CCAM and Secretary René Decker, CCAM, as well as 10 other dedicated industry professionals on the 2015 Board (see page 51 to view all board members). I want to thank those board members who left our team at the end of 2014: Jacqueline Dynes, CCAM and Cherié McColley, CCAM. We greatly appreciate your years of service and the insight and professionalism you have shared with us, which has helped us create a strategic direction for CACM and its members.
It is with great pleasure that I am able to address you one last time and introduce you to the 2015 CACM Board of Directors. All CACM manager members had the opportunity to vote in the annual election last December, and as a result, the Board welcomed two new members – Robb Etnyre, CCAM and Amber Nelson, CCAM – and reinstated three incumbents, including John Cligny, CCAM, Phyllis Harkins, CCAM, and myself. I am honored to be able to serve the CACM membership for another term. During our January board meeting, which was held just before the Annual Meeting of the membership in Oakland, we also selected new officers to lead us through a successful 2015.

Moving forward, be confident in the fact that you have a strong group of board members in your corner who are prepped and ready to ensure CACM continues to create opportunities for you to grow professionally. Our goals will remain the same in 2015 as in years past: promoting your professional success and optimizing the benefits you receive as a member of CACM. We are here for you, and we all look forward to continuing an open dialogue with you about how CACM can meet your professional needs. Here’s to a great year ahead!
On behalf of the CACM Board, Melinda Young, CCAM, PCAM Immediate Past Board Chair
