November President's Message

Dear Members and Friends of CASIA,

As we approach the end of a remarkable year, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve shared throughout 2024. It has been a year of growth, innovation, and strong association connections. We have already added 20 new members this year and membership is up 34% since the beginning of the year! CASIA has made significant strides in advocating for our industry, delivered top-notch CEUs, held vibrant membership meetings and our Annual Lobster Bake. In addition, we broke records at our 34th Annual CASIA Golf Classic in July with 112 golfers! To say we are pleased with 2024 is an understatement; however, I am even more excited for what 2025 has in store!

Looking ahead to 2025, I am extremely optimistic and thrilled to be able to capitalize on the momentum we have built this year. We have ambitious plans to aggressively grow membership, introduce new programs, and enhance the value of your membership! Our focus will remain on providing exceptional resources and opportunities that empower you to excel in our industry.

As we prepare for the upcoming year, I want to extend an invitation to all our members: we are seeking driven individuals who are interested in getting more involved with CASIA. If you have ever considered stepping up to serve on the CASIA Board of Directors, now is the perfect time to throw your hat in the ring. Your unique experiences and insights can help shape the future of our association, and we would be thrilled to discuss the possibility of having you join our leadership team. Please email Shannon.Few@casiact.org to learn more and express your interest in working more closely with us to take CASIA to an even higher-level next year!

Thank you for your dedication and support throughout this year! With Thanksgiving upon us, I couldn't be more grateful for the support of our members and in particular all of our volunteer leaders that make CASIA such a special association to be part of! I wish you and your families a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous New Year! On that note, we are not done just yet. I want to see you at our Annual Holiday Party coming up on December 19th! Please be sure to register today!

Sincerely,

Dana Klesh
CASIA President
