Community Associations Institute (CAI) Partnership

American Community Management has been a member of Community Associations Institute (CAI) since our founding in 2001. In that time, we have partnered with CAI to provide educational courses, certification programs, free expert seminars and more to Board members and ACM staff alike. This long-standing partnership provides significant benefits to all ACM communities.


CAI is the leading trade organization dedicated to community association management. With more than 33,500 members, CAI works in partnership with 60 chapters, including the Chesapeake Chapter, of which ACM is a member. CAI provides information, education and resources to the homeowner volunteers who govern communities and the professionals who support them.

Through our long-standing membership in CAI, ACM taps into a diverse and highly-qualified network of community management professionals to deliver the best results to our clients. CAI has helped ACM grow our preferred vendors list of over 250 licensed and certified contractors, affording greater selection to our clients in the request for proposal process.

ACM also partners frequently with CAI in our quarterly Board seminars, which are free informational sessions often sponsored by CAI or featuring a guest speaker from CAI. These sessions are open to all Board members and are a cornerstone of ACM’s educational initiative.
