Living in a community and serving on its HOA Board can be both challenging and rewarding. Being a member of CAI is one way to minimize the challenges and accentuate the rewards. Receiving the Channels of Communication Magazine from our local chapter is a great way to stay up to date on upcoming events and pertinent topics of interest to our communities. The CAI Membership Directory, published annually, is a useful tool in guiding members to business partners, helpful products, and beneficial services.The Common Ground, CAI Magazine, provides a wider scope of community association issues from a national perspective. Personally, I have found that our CAI luncheons, dinner meetings, and community faires are an excellent way for HOA Board members to increase their knowledge of relevant topics and expand their networking. A wide range of subject matter is covered by the speakers and I have found some useful information to take home with me every time. These events are well organized and always well attended. So, check it out and see what CAI membership can do for your community.
