Take A Manager To Lunch

The CAI Greater Chapter is excited to host the 2026 Take A Manager To Lunch (TAMTL) event on Thursday, July 23rd at the beautiful River Oaks Country Club. TAMTL is an annual event where 400+ community association management company CEO's and their staff are recognized for their hard work and dedication to their communities.  

*ONLY SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES ARE AVAILABLE FOR REGISTRATION!

REGISTRATION - $150/PP (PAID FOR BY BUSINESS PARTNERS) 

Here's how it works: 

  • STEP 1 — Managers register online (FREE) and are included on the master attendee list. Registration will be held between June 8 -19,  2026! 

  • STEP 2 — CAI Greater Houston Chapter Premium Partners purchase tickets ($150 each) and select managers from the master attendee list to sit at their table (10 seats/table, invitations are sent by CAI GHC based on submission list). 

  • STEP 3 — Ticket sales open to all Business Partners/Vendors who will select from remaining list of managers. 

*IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR 2026: ALL TABLE SEATING WILL BE PROCESSED BY THE CAI GREATER HOUSTON CHAPTER (CAI GHC). MANAGERS/MANAGEMENT COMPANY STAFF WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL WHO THEY ARE SITTING WITH BY CAI GHC. MANAGERS/MANAGEMENT COMPANY STAFF CANNOT ACCEPT INVITATIONS DIRECTLY FROM BUSINESS PARTNERS AND SHOULD REGISTER ONLINE BEFORE THE JUNE 19, 2026 DEADLINE. NAMES NOT ON THE LIST BY JUNE 19, 2026 ARE NOT GUARANTEED A SPOT ON THE ATTENDEE LIST.  
 
INVITATIONS ACCEPTED BY MANAGERS/MANAGEMENT COMPANY STAFF OUTSIDE OF THE CAI GHC SELECTION PROCESS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED VALID. DUE TO VENUE CAPACITY LIMITS, SAME-DAY REGISTRATIONS WILL NOT BE AN OPTION IN 2026. 

BUSINESS PARTNER SELECTION DATES 

  • Diamond & Gold Premium Partners - 6/22/26 - 6/28/2026

  • Silver & Bronze Premium Partners - 6/29/2026 - 7/6/2026 

  • Open Ticket Sales (all vendors) - July 7, 2026

Premium Partners can purchase tickets at any point after their selection window has opened. For example, Diamond & Gold Premium Partners who did not select from the manager list between June 22 – 28, 2026 can continue to select during the Silver & Bronze Premium Partner selection on 6/29/2026 - 7/6/2026. 
 

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING REGISTRATION 

Cap on registration for Managers 

  • Registration in 2025 will be limited to 300 managers 
Business Partner Registrations 

  • In order to maximize the number of community association managers/management company staff in attendance, Business Partners who purchase full tables will be limited to no more than three representatives from their company. Restriction does not apply to blended tables (i.e. tables that combine multiple business partners who do not purchase full tables). 

  • At minimum a 1:1 ratio of business partners/managers (i.e. a business partner must purchase a ticket for a manager to attend). For example, a Business Partner purchases three tickets for company staff, they will be required to purchase the equal amount in manager tickets (six tickets total).
