How Does CAI Serve Its Members?
CAI advances excellence through seminars, workshops, conferences, and education programs, some of which lead to professional designations. CAI publishes the largest collection of resources available on community associations, including books, guides, Common Ground magazine, and seven specialized newsletters on community association finance, law, and management.
CAI advocates community association interests before legislatures, regulatory bodies, and the courts. CAI conducts research and acts as a clearinghouse for information, innovations, and best practices in community association governance and management.
