Meet CAI Alabama's newest Board Member

2024 Secretary Name: Darlene Windom, CMCA, AMS Company: Community Management Associates Member Type: Manager Member When and why did you join CAI? I joined in 2016. I was new to the Birmingham area and I felt that CAI could help educate me on the area as well educate me more on Property Management. Which CAI event did you enjoy the most in the past? There are several but I would say the Golf Tournament is my favorite and then the Gala is running close behind. What are your passions next to CAI? I love spending time with my grandchildren.
