CAI Statements on COVID-19 & Community Associations

As the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the health and well-being of people around the world, Community Associations Institute (CAI) calls on all board members, residents, managers, and business partners to lead with health and safety, compassion, flexibility, understanding, and business continuity in mind. CAI is dedicated to building better communities, including each community association's relationship with the greater community, and that mission is more important now than ever before.​

​In response to the pandemic, the CAI Board of Trustees has developed two sets of principles for community associations to consider adopting​: one pertaining to homeowners who face challenges paying their assessments and another pertaining to homeowners who are essential workers and request temporary relief from association covenants specifically related to recreational vehicles/trailers.

After much consideration for the safety of our members and input from the survey that went out early this month, and with approval from our chapter board of directors and support from our venue, the Expo Committee has decided to postpone this year's Expo and Trade Show.

We are planning to reschedule the event for the Spring of 2021 (likely in April) in hopes that by that time size restrictions on large events will be gone, and our members will feel comfortable returning to in-person events.  We are disappointed to postpone this event but feel it’s in the best interest of our members to play it safe during the pandemic.

Join us for a socially-distanced luncheon as we welcome Bryan Dodge to the stage!  Bryan Dodge probably holds the record for being the busiest communicator in America. His inspirational keynotes cover professional development, success habits of the wealthy, team-building/ leadership principles, negotiating skills, and much more. The underlying thesis of all of Bryan's teachings is that "Life is too short not to be happy, and life is too long not to do well." His programs are designed to accelerate professional/personal growth, and produce the favorable results people look for in life.

Space at this luncheon will be limited, so please register early to guarantee your spot!  Seating will be spaced according to curent regulations, and food service will be adjusted for added safety of all attendees.  Those attending will be asked to wear masks before and after lunch; masks and hand sanitizer will be provided at registration for all who need them.

Our bowling venue has reopened and is excited to have us join them in August!  Please visit the event page for more information about sponsorship availability, and how to join a team.

COVID-19 Member Impact Suvey

To assess the impact of the Coronavirus to date, we are conducting a COVID-19 Member Impact Survey.   The survey should take less than five minutes to complete. Your response will help us gauge the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on your profession/industry and greatly enhance our ability to develop a realistic approach for upcoming educational luncheons, social events, and the Trade Show.  This survey will remain open through Friday, June 5.

Your participation allows us to have the most current information on the state of the industry, and gives us the opportunity to share our findings with you. Thank you in advance for taking the time to submit your survey — member input is what helps make our organization flourish!
