April President's Message
Dear Members and Friends of CASIA,
The energy at CASIA has been incredible these past few months! We’ve had two fantastic membership meetings recently, both packed with members who are engaged, informed, and ready to help move our industry forward. It’s been great to see so many familiar faces—and quite a few new ones—filling the room and contributing to the important conversations we’re having as an association.
In March, we dove into critical legislative updates, with our lobbyist Andy Markowski keeping us informed on everything happening at the Capitol that impacts our businesses. His insights are invaluable, and it's clear that CASIA’s voice is being heard where it counts.
In April, we led members through some exciting strategic planning discussions for their business, led by Robert Few with TCX. Members left with quite a bit to think about and a worksheet to help set them up for success moving forward.
Now, with summer just around the corner, it’s time to get ready for one of our signature events—the CASIA Lobster Bake, coming up this June 12th at the brand new Penfield Pavilion on Fairfield Beach! This event is always a highlight of the year, offering great food, amazing networking, live music, and a fun, laid-back vibe that makes it a favorite for members and their guests. Make sure to bring your teams and register now—you won’t want to miss it!
Thank you to everyone who’s been showing up, staying involved, and helping CASIA thrive. Let’s keep the momentum going strong!
Sincerely,
Jim Carey
CASIA President
