CAI-NE chapter executive director Carini recognized for 20 years of service

In March 1994, Claudette Carini joined CAI New England as the chapter's executive director. In the 20 years that she has served as executive director, the chapter has risen to a highly regarded, professional affiliation which serves the interest of community associations throughout New England. With her dedication, drive and organization the chapter has grown to not only represent communities within Mass., but is also a voice in RI, ME, VT and most recently NH. Chapter president Lombardi in presenting the award said,"The chapter has been an active advocate in representing the interests of community associations of all these states and we could not have accomplished so much without Claudette. She has made our chapter a success and we are so proud to have her as our executive director. We thank her, and as president of the 2014 board of directors I hope she continues for at least 20 more years!"
