December President's Message
Dear Members and Friends of CASIA,
I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This time of year, is always a great opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and appreciate the strength of our association and the people who make it successful.
We are looking ahead with excitement to our Annual Meeting on January 15th at Eli’s on Whitney, which is shaping up to be a great way to kick off the new year.Our guest speaker, Andy Markowski with Statehouse Partners, LLC, will provide a valuable legislative update, and our Executive Director, Shannon Few, will share a State of the Association report outlining where we are headed and what members can expect in 2026!
I also want to take a moment to thank everyone who joined us for our Holiday Party a couple weeks ago. The turnout was fantastic, the food at Carmine’s di Vega was outstanding, and the atmosphere truly reflected the camaraderie that makes this association special. Based on that great experience, we’re excited to announce that our March and April membership meetings will also be held at Carmine’s di Vega, and it will once again host our 2026 Holiday Party.
With our 2026 event schedule fully planned and ready to execute, we’re confident the coming year will bring more strong engagement, meaningful connections, and successful events. Thank you all for your continued support and involvement! We look forward to seeing you in January and throughout the year ahead!
Wishing you and your families a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season.
Sincerely,
Jim Carey
CASIA President
