Hi everyone, I’m Caroline Cook with CWS Corporate Housing, and I’m honored to serve as CMARC’s President for 2025. A huge thank you to Sarah Goss for her leadership this past year—I’m grateful for your guidance as I step into this role.

To those who’ve served on this board over the years, thank you for your dedication. Your commitment has made CMARC a thriving organization for nearly 30 years.

This year, I’m excited to build on efforts to grow our membership by focusing on corporate engagement and creating unique experiences that foster lasting connections. We’ll also launch a mentorship program to bridge the gap between seasoned professionals and newcomers, strengthening our community.

We’ll continue expanding our CRP Study Group, which has been a valuable resource for members across the Southeast—I know firsthand, as it helped me pass my CRP in previous years.

I’m eager to hear your ideas and goals for CMARC. Let’s create content that fills industry gaps and equips us to stay ahead on technology, regulations, and best practices. If you want to contribute, consider joining one of our new committees—it’s a great way to get involved.

Thank you for this opportunity to lead. Let’s make 2025 an amazing year for CMARC!

Caroline Cook

2025 CMARC President
