National Community Leadership Forum - We are back in the office from another successful Leadership Forum, this year in Altanta, Georgia. Special thanks to the Georgia Chapter for being such wonderful and generous hosts and to all of our members who attended. Not surprisingly, much of the talk around the meeting was related to the horrendous hurricane season experienced on the Gulf Coast this year and how communities plan for and deal with such mega-challenges.
Future Conferences - Last fall, the CAI Board of Trustees approved changing from two national conferences per year to a single event. I am pleased to announce that we have been able to expedite the implementation of this process and beginning in 2006 will host a single national conference.
For 2006, the CAI National Conference will convene in Palm Springs, California on May 4 - 6. The primary conference hotel will be the Westin Mission Hills. More information is available at http://www.caionline.org/events/conference/index.cfm
I hope to see many of you there.
