It is not only our eighth month but also can be used to describe something esteemed or regal. Maybe that is why our National Education Seminar (NES) has been held quite a few times in August. Not only does it seem to be the hottest month, with the greatest availability of government per diem, but it also is the most esteemed. NES is the flagship of NPMA, and it should be considered esteemed and regal as well. This is where our organization is at its best - fulfilling its mission to advance the profession of asset management through leadership in education, standards, compliance, and certification. This is a week where the true volunteer effort to support all NPMA members can be and should be ‘‘This is a experienced. The Seminar Committee, led by our Vice President of Professional Development and supported week where by members who are willing to provide their time and talent, begin early to plan for NES. Before the true the call for presentations goes out to members, this committee has put in many hours to ensure the structure is in place for a successful NES. After extending the invitation for presentations, we volunteer then see the great response from those that are willing to share their knowledge and experience and their time and talents with you. effort to The volunteers could not do what they do without the support of our Meeting Expectations support all (ME) team. It is this group that coordinates our volunteer’s efforts and ensures NES will be successful. From location venues, schedules, registration desk, the celebration dinner and so the NPMA much more, ME is involved with all aspects of NES. This year we will be celebrating NPMA’s 50th anniversary. I am sure you have heard or seen members we are approaching our 50th year. If not, keep informed by reading the bi-weekly Newsflash, can be and visit our website, or open any of the past few issues of The Property Professional. A team of senior members have been scouring through the NPMA historical documents and photos and have should be created a slideshow with reminders of our past. 2020 is also an election year for NPMA. Elections are held at the Regional and National level experienced." and will take place during the National Delegates Meeting on August 23rd. It is very important that chapters have delegates present at the meeting to represent their interests and vote at the board meetings. Delegates will have received their delegate notebook and should have shared all that will take place with their chapter. I had hoped that we would all be reviewing our travel plans and prepping for NES by the time this article reached you, but as we all know NES had to be canceled. Not an easy decision because all the planning and effort that had already taken place by those folks mentioned above. Not an easy decision because it is the 50th anniversary of NPMA (and who does not want to celebrate your 50th anniversary?) However, as we were unable to hold the event while keeping everyone safe and maintaining social distancing guidelines, it was a necessary decision. As stated above, we will still hold the Regional and National Board meetings virtually and hold the elections. We also have plans in place to offer a much smaller virtual event featuring a few of our originally scheduled education sessions, which is being offered at no charge as our anniversary gift to the association community. While we are unable to gather in person at NES this year, we will continue to be NPMA, continue to support our mission and do it with all our member volunteers and ME staff. Now let us plan for 2021 in Reno. Take care. 4 THE PROPERTY PROFESSIONAL VOLUME 32, ISSUE 4 WESTERN REGION EDITOR GLENDA POOLE, CPPM, CF HOW THE CHANGES CONTACT US AFFECTED YOU?
