and advocacy that are central to managing and governing responsible, exceptional community associations.”


I’m proud to say that our chapter is offering forty-two (42!) hours of continuing education for board members and community managers this year. And that, of course, does not include additional offerings from CAI National. Over the course of any given year, we offer board member training, two separate manager symposia, numerous sessions at our annual conference and mini- trade shows, not to mention our popular legal and legislative updates. All towards the goal of building better communities by building better, and more educated, board members and community managers. To quote Gladwell again, “Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing that makes you good.” I hope you will take advantage of one of our upcoming educations sessions and continue to “put in the hours.” After all, practice makes perfect.


So that’s it for this month. Thank you all for reading and thank you all for being members of the Keystone chapter. Here’s to Malcolm Gladwell – please everyone go listen to Revisionist History or read one of Gladwell’s books (I love them all, but Blink is probably my favorite). Here’s to Damon Lindeloff, Chris Cornell, Matt Cameron, and Stone Gossard. Thanks as always to the Oxford comma. And please join me next time for my final President’s column, when I discuss sleeping long and gaining weight.
