President's Message

Greetings to all members of the CCI SAB Chapter,

As spring blooms around us, it brings with it a renewed sense of energy and purpose for our community. I am delighted to address you all through our spring newsletter, reflecting on our recent accomplishments and looking ahead to the exciting events and initiatives on the horizon.

Firstly, I want to advise of the upcoming CCI National Leaders Forum in Halifax being held May 29 – June 1, 2024. This event is always an invaluable opportunity for learning, networking, and collaborating with fellow CCI Board members and industry leaders from across the country from the various CCI chapters. I am saddened to say I won’t be able to attend as I’ll be out of the country, however, our chapter is sending a number of delegates.

Another highlight in our calendar is our much-anticipated golf tournament on September 16th, set against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Chestermere. It's not just about swinging clubs; it's about forging connections and strengthening bonds within our community. This event has been selling out for a few years, so be sure to sign up when you see the email. A reminder that condo managers, boards, and owners are only $50 to attend.

I am thrilled to announce the inaugural event of our CondoSTRENGTH initiative, scheduled for May. CondoSTRENGTH aims to foster dialogue and knowledge-sharing among condo corporations, addressing common challenges and exploring innovative solutions. We are actively seeking enthusiastic board members to join us in this endeavour. Our sincere thanks to Sanderson Ridge, last year's condo of the year winner, for graciously hosting our first CondoSTRENGTH event.

As our fiscal year draws to a close in June, I remind everyone to watch for membership and sponsorship renewal requests. Your continued support is vital in enabling us to fulfill our mission and serve the needs of our community effectively.

I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to Elaine Courte Association Administration (ECAA), our ‘new’ chapter administrator company. Elaine brings with her a wealth of experience and is of course a familiar friendly face to our organization. We are excited to embark on this new chapter together as we engage Elaine's new company to support our administrative needs.

Mark your calendars for the 11^th annual Alberta Condo & Real Estate (ACR) conference, scheduled for November 1st and 2nd, 2024. This flagship event promises to deliver insightful sessions, expert speakers, and ample networking opportunities for industry professionals.

In conclusion, I am immensely proud of the progress we have made as a chapter, and I am filled with optimism for the future. Let us continue to work together, supporting one another and striving for excellence in all our endeavours.

Thank you for your unwavering dedication and commitment to the Canadian Condominium Institute South Alberta Chapter.
