Letter from the President Dearest Members, I write this message to congratulate you for making it through another fantastic year in the Chapter’s history. 2021 is a year to remember. Despite the ongoing pandemic craziness, we have persevered, and, in fact, far exceeded what we even imagined we were going to accomplish. The Board’s theme for this year was “Grow Together”. We had so many thoughts and ideas of what that theme could mean. Little did we know how accurate it would be for the year. It was our mission to see this Chapter grow. We wanted growth in the sizes and types of our events. We wanted growth in our education, and we wanted growth in our member involvement and numbers. I am proud and honored to say that I don’t think we just accomplished that goal, we crushed it. We are now over 1,200 members strong. Anybody who read my blurb in the newsletters each quarter knew that was my personal goal for the Chapter. We have some of the best involvement in our committees and in fact, added a few new ones this year (Business Partner Advisory, Legislative, and Communications) to support the Chapter’s needs. We provided some of the best educational events which not only had timely topics, but were well attended both virtually and in-person. Somehow, we managed to throw a few new events into our schedule as well. Although I am sad to see the year go, I’m just as excited for the years to come. I know it will just keep getting better and better. I have been proud to serve on the Board the past three years and I am looking forward to being involved for the next three as well. I hope to see all of you at our future events, and ask that you’ll share your love and passion for this Chapter with more people so they, too, can join the best Chapter – our Chapter – the Chesapeake Region Chapter of the Community Association Institute.
