The Board of Commissioners and staff of Community Association Managers International Certification Board (CAMICB) are deeply saddened to see so many of our credentialed professional managers and the communities they serve, impacted once again by a natural disaster of historic proportions. We have profound respect for the commitment each of you in the path of Hurricane Ida have demonstrated in recent days to your communities, and will continue to demonstrate as you begin a painful process of recovery. 

Our thoughts are with you and the residents who rely on you to provide steady, focused leadership. Homes are destroyed, power outages are extraordinarily widespread, movement is limited, and daily life will not return to normal for a very long time. And, unfortunately, as the storm moves deeper inland its impact will continue to be felt as torrential rains trigger massive flooding. 

We are reminded of, and grateful for, the vast team of first responders who have stepped up in response to the hurricane as soon as conditions permitted and continue to work tirelessly against one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the United States. 

Please stay safe. We wish your communities a quick and full recovery.
