Each year, the Orange County Chapter of CAI recognizes an outstanding individual who has been instrumental in the success of the Chapter. The Chapter's most prestigious award is named after May Russell, a former Irvine Company Executive who helped form CAI and was its first president. Recipients of this Award were first announced in 1988 at the Chapter's very first awards dinner. The Award is presented to an individual who has proved exemplary leadership and demonstrated the ideals and objectives of CAI through active participation at the local, regional and/or national level.
Ramona has been a longtime supporter of CAI and an outstanding leader within the organization. She served on the Board of Directors from 2006-2011. She was the Treasurer in 2008 and the President in 2010. She provided leadership on several committees, including the Education Committee and Public Relations Committee. She represents the Chapter as a Delegate to CAI's California Legislative Action Committee, where she serves as the PR Chair, and she is recognized as a frequent speaker at industry events and luncheons.
During her tenure on the Board, she helped resurrect the PCAM Assistance Fund, a program dedicated to assisting community association managers in earning the Professional Community Association Manager designation, the highest international designation for community association management. She helped the Chapter accomplish a 17% increase in manager certifications and she was instrumental in developing a relationship with the City of Santa Ana to educate its homeowners living in community associations, for which the Chapter received recognition from the Santa Ana City Council. She is highly regarded by her colleagues and business partners as a driving force in the industry and a true friend to many involved.
