PCAM

CAI National Conference

Last week, CAI held the Annual Conference in Washington D.C. Our executives, Nels and Bre Atha were in attendance to meet with and learn from trendsetting leaders of the community association industry from all over the world. CIS is committed to offering the most innovative products and services to our clients. We accomplish this by keeping our staff educated on current industry trends and recent legislative changes that affect our business and the communities we serve. It is our goal to provide the resources, knowledge, and guidance to the board members we work with in order to bring harmony and order to the associations they serve. Events like the CAI Annual Conference help us to achieve these goals.

Stay tuned for more details about all the happenings at the conference, including:

  • The Advocacy Summit: Nels Atha visited Capitol Hill to meet with the offices of some of California’s members of Congress to discuss federal legislation affecting community associations, including Representative Maxine Waters (CA 43rd District) and Senators Kamala Harris and Dianne Feinstein.
  • Legislative Update - 2016 FHA Bill: A guest post by a local industry leader in the FHA condo approval process
  • The CAI 2018 Community Service Project: Clean the World Hygiene Kits for D.C.’s homeless veterans

And more...
