Our Mission

Our Mission is to inspire professionalism, effective leadership and responsible citizenship, ideals reflected in communities that are preferred places to call home. 

We do that by:

  • Advocating on behalf of community associations and CAI members before the U.S. Congress, federal regulatory agencies, state legislatures and the courts.  
  • Providing globally respected professional development courses, online and in classrooms, for community managers and other industry professionals.  
  • Providing professional designations that offer recognition of your achievements, as well as continuing education opportunities to help you excel and succeed. 
  • Offering unsurpassed education programs for community association board members and other homeowner volunteer leaders. 
  • Publishing an award-winning magazine, Common Ground™, and specialized newsletters that provide practical information and perspective about association governance and management.
