Associa helps to shape the future of community association
management through active involvement in a number of trade organizations. Our
professionals maintain a variety of certifications, including AAMC, AMS, CMCA,
CPM, LSM and PCAM*, and participate in ongoing training programs.
Within our industry trade organization, Community
Associations Institute (CAI), Associa personnel have held more leadership
positions than any other management company, including: two national
presidents, seven members of the Board of Trustees, numerous national committee
and council chairs, more than 25 chapter presidents, and dozens of chapter board
members.
When CAI decided to develop the nation’s only national
manager certification program through the formation of the National Board of
Certification for Community Association Managers (NBC-CAM), two of the five
steering committee members selected were Associa personnel.
Leadership by Associa personnel in other industry
organizations include: three presidents of the Foundation for Community
Association Research, elected members to the Board of the Association of
Professional Community Managers, California Association of Community Managers
(CACM), and a national instructor for the Institute of Real Estate Management
(IREM).
Additionally, Associa personnel include nationally published
authors who have been selected to help write the courses that teach other
industry managers through CAI’s Professional Management Development Program.
Associa personnel have also served on CAI’s national teaching staff, and have
been awarded national distinctions such as “Outstanding Educator of the Year”
and “Excellence in Education.”
