Pub. 5 2020 Issue 5

3 ISSUE 5 2020 Hello CTAAMembers and Supporters I hope this note finds you all doing well and looking forward to the upcoming Holiday season, and dare I say, the end of 2020. Advocacy efforts continue to be our main focus at the local, state and national levels. A landlord survey was sent to all members and posted to the website. Although it is long and detailed, please take the time to complete it. The CTAA website is continually updated with information and action alerts, and com- munications to the membership have increased substantially to keep you all in the loop. I encourage you all to take a look at all that is posted. Thank you to all who have reached out to their local legislators and federal represen- tatives. We will continue the communication, advocacy, education, and we hope you will too. Our October Pop Up Happy Hour at Water’s Edge in Westbrook was well received, as was our Living Room Learning session at the beginning of November. Thanks to all who attended and served as our subject matter experts for a great discussion. Be on the lookout for our December Best of the Holidays Company Contest, and save the date for our Nutmeg Awards, scheduled for January 2021. While our events and education format con- tinue to be virtual, please know that CTAA is planning for the day when we can all come back together safely and responsibly to net- work, gather and share time. As always, my email (and virtual door) is always open. Take care of yourselves and your communities, and I look forward to seeing you! Thank you for your continued support. Jessica Olander Executive Director Our October Pop Up Happy Hour at Water’s Edge in Westbrook was well received, as was our Living Room Learning session at the beginning of November.
