Community Insider Summer 2019 | страница 2

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE SUMMER IS HERE! A s we approach another beautiful San Diego summer, there are exciting things happening at CAI! There were an amazing 110 CAI-SD walkers & runners at the Race for Autism on April 6th! Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers for their fundraising and athletic efforts! We want to thank the more than 100 managers, business partners & homeowners from across California who made the trip to Sacramento for the California Legislative Action Committee (CLAC) Legislative Day at the Capitol, including eleven CAI-SD members (Kieran Purcell, Rob Ward, Pamela Richardson, Craig Combs, Kimberly Lilley, Natalie Stewart, Robert Riddick, Ramona Acosta, Steve Tinnelly, Laura Kwiatkowski, Richard Ybarra & myself). Working over two days of concurrent visits, we talked to every state legislator or their staff regarding the bills that affect homeowners associations. If you see any of us at upcoming events, feel free to ask us about the experience or how to get involved! We hope that you enjoyed our recent Education Conference in North County and our other spring education programs. Upcoming education program topics include “Elections” (6/28/19) and “Disaster – Before, During & After” (8/2/19). Our summer social season will soon be underway, with Wine Night, the Tiki Party, Day at the Races, and back by popular demand… Beer Night! Please remember to get your tickets early, as these events will sell out. Our Membership & Retention Committee deserves special recognition, as we have 53 new CAI-SD members so far this year! The Committee members hard work & dedication to increasing awareness & membership for CAI-SD is definitely paying off. We encourage all members to invite people they know to any of our education programs. Please contact the CAI-SD office for additional information and sponsorship. Finally, we are excited to welcome Garrett Reynolds to the CAI-SD Board of Directors, replacing Colleen Cazimero who has moved to sunny Arizona. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming events, and as always, welcome any input regarding events or CAI. Thank you for being a part of CAI-San Diego! 2 | SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY INSIDER SUMMER 2019 Rachael Robenolt is the owner and operator of 360 Community Management, exclusively serving Home- owners Associations in San Diego County.
