?? What an inspiring start to the morning at the #GWACONFERENCE2024! Today, we had the incredible opportunity to hear from Anant Yardi, Founder and CEO of Yardi who shared his journey of resilience and vision. When faced with his employer’s decision to leave Santa Barbara, Anant and three colleagues took a bold step, creating software to help them stay in the area. While 3 of the original 4 software engineers eventually left, feeling they were developers, not business owners, Anant persevered. Fast forward to today, Yardi has grown to 9,500 employees worldwide! Yet, despite this amazing growth, Anant remains humble, still pondering the true meaning of success. His story reminds us that success is often less about the destination and more about the journey and the impact we create along the way. Feeling inspired?

???? Today at the #GWAConference2024, industry experts gathered for an important fireside chat on CMRA compliance, featuring: - Cid Rhomberg, CEO of brick house blue - Ryan Harris, Franchise Owner of Six Intelligent Office Locations - Carl Swanson, Postal Inspector and Program Manager, US Postal Inspection Service Key Takeaways: ??Understanding the New Postal Regulations: The session highlighted the urgent need to address fraud in the postal system, particularly in light of the $6-9 billion in losses from CMRAs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Carl Swanson, a seasoned fraud prevention expert and former Secret Service agent, explained the reasons behind these new regulations and how they aim to safeguard the postal ecosystem. ??Compliance Insights: -There are an estimated 15,000 CMRAs in the U.S. that must comply with the new regulations. - Businesses have 90 days to achieve compliance once they begin the process. The aim is to support operators in becoming compliant, not to shut them down, with a 30-day notice given before any action is taken. - A new version of Form 1583a is now available, and while it is not immediately mandatory, operators are encouraged to switch to it as soon as feasible. ??Guidance for Operators Using Aggregators: For those using aggregators, the aggregator is recognized as the client and CMRA by the postal service. ??Addressing Common Challenges: - Postal Management: Many operators feel uncertain about compliance steps; Carl provided practical advice on navigating these changes. - API Release: Updates on the API release are still pending. - Fraud Detection: Operators can report fraud through the CRD without increasing their chances of an audit. ??Future Support and Resources: - The USPS plans to introduce a security group for audits and improve help desk services to offer more on-demand support. Taking proactive steps toward compliance will benefit operators, ensuring that we can all work together to maintain a secure postal system while fostering growth and success. We’re grateful to Carl Swanson for his insights and to all panelists for shedding light on these critical changes. Let’s stay informed and compliant! #VastCoworking #CMRACompliance #PostalRegulations #FraudPrevention #USPS #VirtualMail #IndustryInsights #GWAConference2024 #venturex #officeevolution #intelligentoffice
