What a long, strange trip it’s been! In case you haven’t heard, I have left CTAA to accept another position outside the industry. This is a great move for me professionally, and bittersweet personally. I have had the honor, privilege and pleasure of leading this amazing organization for 10 years. It’s been hard, but gratifying, work and I THANK YOU for trusting me to be your voice.

Your CTAA Board and committee volunteers work so very hard! Thank you all for your time, efforts and energies. We have brought CTAA to tables that we previously have not been invited to, we have grown membership and brought value to our members.

CTAA’s financial position is strong and advocacy efforts are top notch, keep it up! Education opportunities abound with NAA certifications, VISTO, and Multi Family Insiders. Public Relations and Marketing is on fire with press releases, weekly communications, and a continued partnership with the American Red Cross. Events are coming back in a big way, so get ready for the 2021 Education Conference and Trade Show, featuring Maintenance Mania, September 9-10 at Foxwoods.

I look forward to seeing some of you at my new organization, and to everyone else, I hope our paths cross one day again. Until then, stay hydrated, pick an exit buddy and make good choices!
