CED's Desk WWW.CAINE.ORG INVESTMENTS & REWARDS I nvestments are most commonly associated with financial rewards- always seeking the highest rate of return, evaluating the best options for greatest appreciation or taking a chance on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But at the annual chapter dinner, rewards beyond cash and riches were realized by those who have invested their time and expertise in their communities and CAI. Before a record number of industry professionals and association volunteers attending, the achievements and contributions of award winners were applauded and recognized not only by those grateful homeowners, professional managers and business partners nominating them, but also by all those present who could appreciate and understand the challenges they faced and volunteer contributions they made. Throughout New England, thousands of volunteers dedicate themselves to advancing the interests of their associations and the communities in which they live and work. We extend our congratulations to all the award winners spotlighted in this issue and applaud all of the unsung heroes in your community. Sincerely, Claudette Carini Chapter Executive Director 4 CONDOMEDIA June 2019
