GETTING
CAI-NE in the Movies

CONNECT WITH OUR COMMUNITY CAINewEnglandChapter CAINewEngland CAI New England Chapter www.caine.org

The chapter’s social media participation provides for the real-time exchange of information and perspectives about the industry, CAI and the chapter. Engaging members, non-members, public policy leaders, the media and other housing industry stakeholders, discussion about community association living and management, and its place within the industry and with individuals is encouraged. AI-NE is going to the movies. Well, not exactly. But we are compiling videos for YouTube, so get your popcorn ready. In addition to our enhanced outreach efforts utilizing social media with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, we are putting time into creating a library of short YouTube videos that highlight the reasons members join CAI and the benefits of being a member, reading Condo Media magazine and attending programs. Sharing experiences in this way is a great opportunity for board members, managers and business partners to see and hear from each other. It will help prospective members learn about CAI from a colleagues’ point of view, too. In these videos, viewers will discover what it is about CAI that you find valuable and how it has helped you be a better homeowner, board member or association manager. Our

sponsors and exhibitors are also encouraged to take part and talk about the business opportunities they’ve realized from meeting program participants.

to a video recording device (such as a smartphone) you can put a short video together and simply email it to bdavidow@caine.org. Here are some video ideas to get you started: • Take us on a tour of your condominium complex or building and show off what you’ve learned from CAI that has made your association a better place to live. • Tell us why you subscribe to Condo Media. • Invite us into your board meeting so others can see how you’ve adapted communication methods or accounting controls to improve efficiency. • Have you gone through a capital improvement project? Talk us through the process that you learned from taking CAI courses that made a difference in the outcome.

Direct Your Own Video Clip
There are many ways to utilize video clips. You’ll find occasional videos in emails, on Facebook and, of course, on our YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/CAINewEn gland. In the future, the chapter will

present short clips of seminars in action so you can see what it’s like to be at a program. You’ll be wishing you were there and be inspired to attend the next one! We’ll be looking for a few “movie stars” at our upcoming programs, but you don’t have to wait to be asked to do a video with us. If you have access

• Did your association recently make the transition from developer-managed to unit-owner-managed? Tell us how it went. We can’t promise all videos will be placed into our YouTube channel but we look forward to seeing what you have to say. CM
