"When we succeed as individuals, we gain respect and recognition, accelerate our careers, strengthen our professions and grow our businesses," said 2012 CAI President Kathryn C. Danella, CMCA, LSM, PCAM. "When we succeed collectively, we fulfill our mission of supporting and strengthening communities and serving the people who call them home."

CAI’s achievements, she added, "reflect an organization with members and leaders who understand the importance of both our individual responsibilities and our collective contributions."
