A message from your CELA President...
Hello and welcome to the Code Enforcement League of Arizona (CELA) website! On behalf of the CELA Board of Directors I bid you a cordial welcome. We are delighted you took the time to stop by our website to look at our organization.
CELA is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the Code Enforcement Professionals of Arizona who make such a positive difference in our communities. We’re here to assist these professionals in as many ways as possible.
For instance, we hold two educational seminars a year with various trainings to help our members stay on top of the latest information. We just rolled out the CELA educational academy, which after successful completion, can earn you up to three college credits for each level you complete through Central Arizona College. Additionally, the City of Glendale Arizona will host the American Association of Code Enforcement (AACE), our national organization, annual conference in November 2010.
While all this happening our Board of Directors, committees, and members at large are working diligently to complete several other goals by the end of this year, such as:
1 - Write and gain approval for Level Two of our Education Academy2 - Create a state wide hoarding task force
3 - Take the Education Academy on the road out of Maricopa County
4 - Obtain and utilize the latest technology in our training seminars and academy’s
5 - Increase the CELA membership base
Quite the undertaking to complete by the end of the year!
As you can see there is plenty to do. If you are not a member already, I encourage you to not only join, but to also get involved in shaping your organization, and your profession. Feel free to contact me, the webmaster, or any of our outstanding Board Members with ideas and suggestions that can help the Code Enforcement League of Arizona serve you better.
I look forward to seeing and meeting with you throughout the year.
Sincerely,
Michael RitterCELA President
