GREENSBORO, N.C., May 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Founder and CEO Paul K. Mengert of Association Management Group (AMG), one of the Carolinas' largest professional homeowner association management companies representing more than 30,000 property owners, will present a session on work/life balance at the Community Associations Institute (CAI) 50th-anniversary conference May 17 - 20 in Dallas. Per the conference theme of Community NOW, Mengert and colleague Dr. Lori Baker-Schena, MBA, EdD, leadership consultant and professional speaker with Baker Schena Communications, will present a workshop titled Mindful Managing: Achieving the Elusive Work-Life Balance.
"The invitation to present at CAI's golden anniversary conference is a huge honor," said Mengert. "It's AMG's mission to help community associations create safe, attractive, effective neighborhoods. Association managers do a stupendous job of managing their properties. It's a pleasure to present a workshop teaching them how to strategically perform their many commitments and duties with a spirit of mindfulness and joy. For more than 35 years, AMG's excellence has been driven by our managers' excellence, so our topic is a good fit for today's demanding times."
Begun in 1973 and with 1000 members by 1975, CAI now has more than 43,000 members worldwide. The exponential growth of community associations over the last 50 years (from 10,000 in 1970 to 358,000 today) and the burgeoning job requirements association managers must handle solidify Dr. Baker-Schena's belief that the workshop she and Mengert will present will meet an absolutely vital workforce need.
"As CAI celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is a good time to reflect on how the community management industry–and the workload–has changed in the last five decades," Dr. Baker-Schena noted. "Our session on creating an intentional work-life balance vividly reflects how professionals in our industry must keep up with today's constantly expanding work responsibilities while balancing an increasingly demanding personal life."
The Mindfulness Management workshop is designed to help participants learn how to manage feelings of frustration and helplessness by empowering them with practical tips on busting the multitasking myth, taking control instead of being controlled, protecting their time, being fully (and positively) present, and mastering teamwork and communicating more effectively with volunteer boards and teams.
