Community Outreach Committee The Community Outreach Committee hit 2019 running with the 5K Race For Autism with over 100 race participants. Our first year of doing the fundraising proved to be a success with $790 raised! Our annual food drive will be kicking off on June 1st with our CAI-SD Cares day at Feeding San Diego is set for July 20th. Check out the CAI San Diego Facebook Page for updates on where to drop off food for the drive! If you’d like to have a box to fill at your office, email the CAI office and we will coordinate the delivery. As always, volunteers are always welcome and there’s plenty of room on the committee for more. We meet on the Fourth Thursday at 1:00 PM in the conference center by the CAI Office. For questions, call 858-836-1119. COMMUNITY UPDATES Education Committee The Education Committee is happy to report that the quality of the 2018 programs was excellent and received with high praise from attendees. Committee members are a big part of our success, including CAI 2018 Committee Member of the Year, Marie Donovan. Marie created the foundation of the process of preparing speakers and helps train the entire committee on how to be effective program coordinators. Our Committee looks forward to another year of successful programs. Please join us on March 7th at the Westin Carlsbad for our first Trade Show and Leadership Luncheon of the year program on “MARIJUANA.” Our annual Common Interest Development Law Class will be on March 22. The April 26 Morning Leadership Program “When Society’s Issues Become Your Association’s Problem (Homeless)” and the May 21 Education Conference with a Legal Track and a Water Damage Track will provide valuable information for community association managers and board members on common issues we face. See you all there! Membership Committee 2019 has started off strong for chapter membership. CAI San Diego added 53 new members the first quarter! We have 27 new Volunteer Leader members, 13 new Business Partner members, and 13 new Manager members. This sizeable membership increase was only possible due to your efforts and participation. We’re hopeful this momentum will continue, and that 2019 will be a record breaking year for our chapter’s membership. Publication & Marketing Committee The committee welcomes its new members! It is always exciting to have new opinions, talents, and resources to draw from. In other news, we are currently seeking business partners who are interested in being featured in the cover or in purchasing an advertising bundle.
