The past weeks have been heavy, watching the impact of these fires on our Southern California neighbors. These times remind us why we do what we do: Creating comfortable, resilient homes isn't just about technology, it's about people and community. And while we had planned to launch Quilt in LA this month, our neighbors are facing much bigger challenges right now. We'll be returning in spring, but in the meantime, we wanted to highlight some of the organizations our friends and partners have launched that are doing the vital work of helping the community rebuild. If you can help or know someone who needs support, please share. ?? Lauren Reyes Lim and LVR STUDIOS is offering free one-hour video consultations to help victims who have lost their homes create spaces that feel like home again. ?? Tommy Lei's Artist Fire Relief Fund (https://lnkd.in/e9uPJ8Jn) is directly supporting LA's creative community, helping artists who've lost their studios and irreplaceable work find their footing again. ?? Home Bank LA (https://homebankla.org/) is providing emergency financial assistance and critical support services to residents, ensuring our neighbors can stay housed and stable during this challenging time. ?? Team Rubicon's (https://lnkd.in/dcv925Z) veteran volunteers are bringing their unique expertise to disaster response, working tirelessly on the ground to support immediate relief and long-term recovery. ?? Habitat LA (https://www.habitatla.org/) is providing critical disaster relief services to homeowners impacted by the fires, including emergency repairs, rebuilding assistance, and relief supplies. Their Disaster Relief Program specifically helps low-income families restore safe, stable housing. Our hearts are with LA. ??

Elijah Aaron Jerjerian this is a great reminder, especially as companies approach end of fiscal year, and may have distressed inventories that they do not want to carry into next year. Many forget that the tax laws are quite favorable for philanthropic donations. In most cases the tax recovery rate benefit is much richer than recovery through a liquidation reseller, and with an NGO like World Vision, there is no risk of brand erosion from product resurfacing in unwanted resell markets. https://lnkd.in/er-QeSZj.
It's no longer in the news, but World Vision USA is still serving communities in the Southeast devastated by Hurricane Helene and Milton. Once the debris and damage has been removed, rebuilding will begin. World Vision USA is seeking donations for the following program need areas: - Cold weather apparel - Cold weather footwear - Building materials - Building, renovation tools (hand and power) - Power generation (generators, solar…) - Personal care - School supplies - Toys If your company or network can help World Vision USA serve these communities please contact myself or someone on our Corporate Engagement team!

The wildfires in Los Angeles and across the region are impacting so many lives, and our hearts are with everyone affected. Clean air is essential, especially during wildfire season, and we want to share resources to help protect your indoor air quality. Here are a few tips to safeguard your indoor air during wildfire episodes: ??Seal windows, doors, and vents to minimize smoke infiltration ?? Set your HVAC system to recirculate air and check filters frequently ??Use portable air purifiers with HEPA filters in smaller spaces ??Create a “clean air zone” in your home or building for added protection ? For more tips and resources, check out our seasonal guide: https://bit.ly/4aiYTUM ? If you’re looking for ways to support relief efforts, consider donating to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. Their work ensures first responders have the resources they need to protect our communities during times of crisis: https://bit.ly/4h9shzc

Over 200,000 birds meet a tragic end daily in #NewJersey due to collisions with window glass. The US witnesses around three billion bird fatalities each year through this preventable cause, averaging about one hundred per second, ~5700 per minute, or roughly 8 million per day. Despite the staggering numbers, these incidents often go unnoticed. #NewJersey stands third among the fifty states in this concerning statistic, due to the Garden State's rich avian diversity and extensive urban development. The solution to this collision crisis lies in simple measures like installing screens, applying dedicated window films, or installing bird-friendly glazing from the beginning. Unfortunately, such efforts to mitigate collisions in the state remain minimal. That's where we step in to make a difference. Connect with The Zoological Lighting Institute either through me or visit www.zoolighting.org to explore solutions and to help to pay for them. We are committed to assisting in implementing bird-friendly designs through the Little Birds Tax Relief Initiative. Whether you're an individual, a #nonprofit, or a #forprofit organization, we're here to collaborate and support your efforts in safeguarding our feathered friends.

?? CINCUp 2024 Recap: Innovation, Community, and CAM Expertise ?? What an incredible experience at CINCUp 2024! The energy, innovation, and sense of community were truly inspiring. This year, three core themes stood out to me: 1?? Community Matters Above All: The generosity of the CINC community was remarkable. Over $12,000 was raised for disaster relief efforts in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, showing that when communities come together, great things happen. It was a privilege to witness the outpouring of support and to hear from Jake Wood of Team Rubicon, who reminded us that neighbors are the true first responders in times of crisis. I encourage all of you to continue the donations, and if you are in Milton's path, I am keeping you and your friends, families and colleagues in mind and hope you are preparing well: https://lnkd.in/eDQW_bcg 2?? AI Is Building Stronger Communities: CINC Systems new AI-powered solutions like the Communications Center and Board Insight Center are game-changers and perfectly align with what we've built at TechCollect. At TechCollect, we’re proud to be at the forefront of the AI evolution, helping CAMs embrace AI to improve homeowner engagement and reduce outside collections. We are taking the tedious task of AR management and making it meaningful through AI! 3?? CAM Expertise Is Key to Effective AI Solutions: Technology is only as good as the expertise behind it. With over 25 years in the community management industry, I know firsthand how important it is for tech solutions to be tailored to the unique challenges CAMs face. That’s why our team at TechCollect is passionate about building tools that aren’t just innovative, but also practical and compliant. Our Director of Product, Brent Bassett, ensures that our AI solutions automate workflows while keeping everything aligned with regulatory requirements. The future of community association management is bright, and I’m excited to be part of this industry as we continue to push boundaries and lead with innovation. ?? Let’s connect on LinkedIn and continue the conversation! ?? Be sure to follow TechCollect and Equity Experts for updates on industry trends and cutting-edge tech solutions. ?? Looking forward to seeing many of you at CEO-MC next week! #CINCUp2024 #CommunityFirst #AIinCAM #TechCollect #EquityExperts #CEOMC #CommunityAssociationManagement #DisasterRelief #Innovation

CAN A WALL BECOME A CHOICE . . . NOT A BARRIER? The wall was an overlooked 110-year-old building, neglected for 50 years.? Its roof and much of its third floor had been destroyed. Finally, the building, located in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, was condemned by the city of Philadelphia. The local newspaper shouted for attention about the loss! Along with a few others, I fought to save the building by producing dozens of letters followed by phone calls. The owner of the building retaliated with an ultimatum: “To halt the demolition, raise $4800 in 48 hours!” At the zero hour we met the challenge, only to face a harsher hurdle: Raise the necessary money to build the walls, install a new roof, and renovate the building. “It’s not what happens to you that matters.?It’s what you do about it.” - Nido Qubein, “ATTITUDE The Remarkable Power of Optimism” The challenge was harsh: Not only were we novice fundraisers but also We were recent newcomers from outside Philadelphia with few local contacts. In the 1960s we faced another hurdle: This accepted belief reigned: “There is nothing historic in Chestnut Hill.” Only monumental buildings in Philadelphia such as Independence Hall qualified as “historic.” We gained time enough to: Attract key support and raise the required money. Today, the three-story stone building stands as a landmark. Our actions gave birth to the Chestnut Hill Historical Society, now known as the Chestnut Hill Conservancy. Today the Conservancy ‘s actions meet ever-present challenges: It reaches out to save stone walls in Chestnut Hill and beyond into neighboring communities. #thriving #wellbeing #optimism #attitude
