On the national stage, CAI has recently undergone an exciting and transfor mative change in leadership. After an impressive 23 years of devoted service, our longtime CEO, Thomas Skiba, has chosen to embark on his much-deserved retirement. In light of his departure, I am delighted to share that Dawn Bauman, CAE, a lifelong advocate for CAI, has stepped into the role and will undoubt edly rise to the occasion, continuing the legacy of excellence established by Tom. In addition, there has been another notable promotion within our ranks: Phoebe Neseth, Esq. has been elevated to the position of Vice President of Government Relations, Public Affairs, & Legal. Phoebe has distinguished herself as a remarkable leader for CAI, continuously working alongside our NJ-LAC to advance some of our most influential policy initiatives. Her dedication and effec tiveness have been crucial to our ongoing success. Congratulations are certainly in order for both Dawn and Phoebe as they take on these new and important responsibilities! As we reflect on these recent accomplishments and transitions, it becomes clear that our organization is well-positioned for continued progress and innova tion, thanks to the commitment and collaboration of everyone involved. n

And in a field where relationships are everything, that’s the kind of asset you can’t afford to ignore. n
