Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – The
Orange County Chapter of the Community
Association’s Industry (CAI) will be presenting industry awards at the chapter's leadership awards dinner to be held on February
25, 2011 at Disney's grand Californian Hotel. Considering that the CAI has
asserted that the David-VS-Goliath stories are mostly
AstroTurf® and manufactured by the media, including
the CotoBuzz Journal, despite evidence to the contrary, such as the California Supreme Court Decision on Golden
Rain Foundation vs Franzand Golden Rain Foundation vs
Lyon, on January 5, 2009,
Judge Ronald L. Bauer ruled on David Lyon’s favor on his motion for an award of
fees incurred during the litigation, for example.
The aforementioned CAI Awards by all appearances, seem to be designed
as a public relations ploy, a way to legitimize and attempt to polish the image
of members who may have been tarnished in the media, fairly or not. We have asked the Orange County Chapter of the CAI, for the criteria and list of finalists, but as of this writing, we do not have such information.
Swedelson & Gottlieb associate Alex Noland has been nominated for three CAI Awards, while
property Management Company PCM has at least two employees, including PCM's spokesperson
Wendy Buckman. Additionally, PCM has
managed to get Laguna Woods Village director Heather
Gerson nominated for Director of the Year, even though MS. Gerson was appointed, not
elected, but happens to be a staunch supporter of PCM. We should note that each time we have
contacted PCM and or Swedelson & Gottlieb to comment on the veracity
of what we published, both have refused to comment.
Now, take a peak at the series,
a HOA’s Legal Mind – a Terrible Thing to Waste,
and the PCM Ultimatum to the Laguna Woods Village
local governance, as prototypical behavior. Now consider that PCM
is a CAI Vintner Title Sponsors at $2000 a pop, while, Swedelson
& Gottlieb is the
paradoxically-named Jeroboam sponsor at $750
In response, we have proposed
the yearly Davy Awards to include at least four categories: 1) Board of Directors
2) Legal Counsel 3) Pro-Board Residents 4) Property Management Company and 5) Other
Service Providers.
Some of the specific Awards
suggested to date are listed below.
Nominations in any of the aforementioned categories are accepted for CID's in California, as well as nation-wide. Specific award and or category suggestions are accepted now.
We shall publish the final names
February 25, 2011 and will issue a list of finalists by June 22, 2011, with an
award ceremony scheduled for August 2011, the venue and exact date to be determined.
