into being a better, more knowledge- able and productive manager. The M-100 course gave all those things I had been doing for years some sort of structure. I was able to confirm the things I had been doing right and it helped me learn what I had been doing wrong. After taking that class I was hooked and wanted to pursue my education through CAI. I studied my butt off and passed the CMCA exam four months after taking the M-100. I implored my employ- ers to build up a “library” for all our managers to utilize. We purchased several publications offered through CAI Press and I read every one of them. I took a few more classes and got my AMS designation. It’s kind of cool having more “letters” after my name now. I feel my Boards have a bit more respect for my knowledge and decisions in this business since I began my education through CAI. I am grateful that CAI has offered a scholarship through the Jules C. Frankel Manager Education Assistance Program. I was able to receive assis- tance in paying for the last class I took. I learned a lot about Financial Management and I’ll be able to add that knowledge to my arsenal. Looking ahead I plan to continue my education through CAI and even- tually obtain my PCAM. I’ve learned a lot so far, made a lot of contacts and friends at the classes and even got help with paying for courses. Thanks CAI! n
