Professional Community Association Managers Are Champions for HOA Success
Raising Awareness of California-Certified Community Managers, CACM Invites Homeowners to "Tell Us About Your Champion" for a Chance to Win.
California Association of Community Managers (CACM), the state’s leading community association management education organization, today launched its Community Champions awareness campaign in the Bay Area.
Part of a statewide program, the Community Champions campaign is focused on raising awareness about the importance of CACM’s California-specific Certified Community Association Manager (CCAM®) designation and educating homeowners about the tremendous responsibilities community association managers have in overseeing nearly 50,000 common interest developments (CIDs) or homeowners associations (HOAs) in California.
“In the Bay Area alone, there are more than 1.8 million residents living in approximately 10,700 HOA-managed communities. Many of these HOAs are run by professionally-trained community association managers,” said Karen Conlon, president and CEO of CACM. “These professionals act as champions for the residents they serve by guiding volunteer HOA boards through complicated issues like finances, state legislation, dispute resolution and property maintenance. They have a tremendous impact on the lives of thousands of Californians, and it’s time they are recognized for the important role they play.”
