Winter Events Committee

About

The Winter Events Committee is responsible for planning and executing two of the chapter’s premier events: the Wendell A. Smith Annual Awards Celebration and the Winter Break Party. These elegant affairs consistently impress attendees, who enjoy beautifully curated food stations and celebrate the achievements of outstanding individuals in the community association industry. Each event typically welcomes 250–350 attendees.
The committee plays an essential role in:

  • Selecting event themes
  • Designing and producing event decorations
  • Supporting sponsorship outreach and promotion
