The Gala Committee also announced our Seventh class of DFW-CAI Hall Of Fame inductees.
These awards were presented to individuals that have made a profound influence in the development of our chapter, and the HOA industry as a whole.
 
This year we were pleased to induct the following individuals:
...coming soon...

Nomination/Award Rules:

  1. Award nomination deadline is Friday, February 27, 2026.
  2. No more than THREE nominations per individual will be included for judging; if more than three submissions are submitted, the first three will be used for judging.
  3. Winners from the past two years are not eligible to win in the same category (but can win in a new category); their eligibility returns the following year. (IE: 2024 winners may be nominated again in 2027.)  Click here to see a list of previous years' winners
  4. Nominations and additional documentation for the application may be submitted by completion of the online forms.  Paper forms will not be accepted.
  5. Each award category must receive a minimum of 3 nominations in order for the award category to proceed.
  6. All award nominees may be required to complete a nominee questionnaire and submit a personal photo to be used at the Gala.
  7. Nominator information is confidential and will be collected for informational/follow-up purposes only.  Nominator information will NOT be shared with the judging panel or the nominees themselves (however, nominators may request the submissions be shared after the awards gala, if they wish).

Judging:

Nominations are judged by a panel of CED's and other industry insiders from across the country, with no connection to the chapter.  Entries receive points based on chapter participation, creativity of submission, and overall quality of the narrative; scoring rubrics have been customized to meet the needs of each particular category.

When do we find out Finalists or Winners?

Award nominees will be announced on Friday, March 6, 2026, and winners will be announced at the Gala on Saturday, April 18, 2026. We encourage all nominees to attend the Gala, but it is not required to receive the award should they win (please note Gala tickets are not complimentary for nominees).  A variety of recognition opportunities are available for all CAI Chapter Members – Business Partners, Managers & Volunteers!

We look forward to recognizing all of our nominees at the 7th Annual Awards Gala this Spring!
