And on the subject of training… we’re moving! After many years in our current offices, CAI will soon relocate to new premises complete with a purpose-built training suite. The new facility will give us more space, flexibility and the chance to deliver courses in new hybrid formats, if members demand it. We can’t wait to share it with you early in the new year — so keep an eye out for the official announcement. As ever, my thanks go to the CAI staff for their dedication and professionalism. Particular thanks to Bev, whose commitment keeps the association running so smoothly and to all the CAI staff, including Charlene and Suzie and our newest staff members, Dan Fletcher and Keera Miller-Howe who have really hit the ground running and whose enthusiasm for engaging with members continues to make a real difference. Lastly, I should also offer extra special thanks to Amanda Ward this year, who recently celebrated, if that’s the right word, her 25th anniversary of working at CAI, and to Kevin Dawson, who also hits his 25th Anniversary early in 2026. Both still fall far short of Bev’s remarkable 47 years, but are milestones nonetheless! I’m also endlessly grateful to my colleagues on the Board and Committees, all of whom volunteer their time and expertise for the good of our industry. Finally, thank you to you — our members — for your continued commitment to CAI and to maintaining the highest standards across our profession. It’s been a demanding year, but one full of progress, and with our new office and training facilities on the horizon, I’m confident 2026 will be one of renewed opportunity.
