FROM THE CED’S DESK

The Official Publication of CAI New England

A Year of Achievements
ver the past 12 months, volunteer leaders have continued to aggressively pursue the implementation of the chapter’s strategic planning goals and objectives. Through their commitment and the work of so many committees and volunteers, chapter events continue to grow and new programs have been introduced to meet the ever-changing needs of associations around New England. Committees acting under the sound leadership of the CAI-NE board are the backbone of the chapter’s success, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with so many devoted and responsible volunteers. I applaud your success and look forward to another monumental year of achievements in 2012.

‘Twas the CED message for the issue December, Where to begin, and so much to remember. In 12 short months volunteers galore Have transformed the chapter and made it much more. With an eye to the future and sights on the “plan” They lead by the motto, “be all that you can”. With 2012 less than one month away, Volunteers in their mission cannot be swayed. Committees and chairs to help with the tasks Have all been assembled without twice being asked. Volunteers are the lifeblood of this organization Without you, there would be no association. And while we think of the future we must not overlook Those who came before and gave much more than they took. And as this ED prepares for next year today She gratefully thanks so many who have helped along the way. With each of you giving so much time to our efforts May you find success and true fortune in your personal and professional endeavors. Wishing each of you a happy holiday season and New Year.

Sincerely,
