IREM Boston: Cam Marston event was a major success

Cam Marston, a nationally renowned motivational speaker, spoke to the over 230 people on June 5th, at the Granite Links Golf Club Ball Room in Quincy, MA. Marston captivated the audience for over 3 ½ hours with his insight into the workplace with his unique wit and charisma. The feedback the IREM office and I have received has been more positive than we could have ever anticipated. The most asked question we have received is when will Marston be back again. We're not sure, but it won't be long. If you were unable to attend this event and would like a PDF of Cam's presentation, please call the IREM office listed below. Carol MacDonald, CPM and Donn Rawson, CPM, ARM were presented a Life Time Mentoring Award by Jeanmarie O'Brien, CPM and myself. Jeanmarie and I wanted to acknowledge these two individuals for their leadership they have provided to each of us for nearly 20 years. At this meeting we welcomed 2 new ARM's and 1 new CPM's into the IREM family. I would like to congratulate the following members: ARM's: * Robert Vreeland, ARM, Federal Management; and * Kimberly Wheelwright, ARM, First Reality. CPM's: Janet Ivanov, CPM, Related Properties. I also had the pleasure to acknowledge the following past presidents that were in attendance for this event: 1999 Donald Rawson, RVP-2000-2001, 2004 Christopher Mellen, RVP 2006-2007, 2006 Carol MacDonald, 2009 Kate Franco, 2010 Rob Crowley, 2011-2012 Robert Cuttle Region 1 RVP and 2011 Jeanmarie O'Brien.
