It's becoming increasingly difficult for management professionals and board members to take part in training programs or seminars; travel costs continue to rise and it is hard to be out of the office. To help managers and board members continue to get training and build their skill set, CAI launched CAI Connect, a new and exciting monthly webinar series. These Internet teleconferences offer information on current topics and industry trends. They allow managers and board members to get the additional education and training they need, without leaving their office or home. CAI will offer a series of these 60 or 90-minute webinars throughout the year.
