CAI is committed to helping volunteers enrich their communities. With membership in CAI, you also get the benefits of the Center for Community Association Volunteers (CCAV). Through this specialized member group, learn about innovations in other communities, access time and money-saving tools and information and have a forum to share knowledge.
While joining CAI on your own is important, having your entire board connected to CAI is the best way to ensure you are making informed decisions—and an excellent way to help your board members achieve the results, respect and recognition they deserve.
Membership includes automatic enrollment in one of CAI's chapters based on zip code. Look through our list of CAI chapters to find one in your area.
Here are the resources and services you'll receive as a CAI member:
Membership Dues
The annual membership dues are $99 plus the mandatory Advocacy Support Fee of $15 and optional $10 ($15 for boards of two or more) contribution to CAI's Foundation for Community Association Research—a tax deductible donation to a 501(c)(3) organization.
Every dollar of the mandatory $15 Advocacy Support Fee goes directly to states with Legislative Action Committees and supports the efforts of CAI to represent and protect our members on state legislative and regulatory issues.
The Foundation for Community Association Research operates on behalf of the industry and conducts surveys and research, provides national programming and produces a variety of publications, including the series of Best Practice reports. Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible.
Membership dues are non-refundable.
