Association of Professional Community Managers 

Inspiring Excellence in Community Management

Community managers are the professional backbone of the communities they serve, providing the knowledge and expertise that is crucial to the successful management and operation of associations.

That's why CAI has created the Association of Professional Community Managers (APCM), a specialized member group for managers dedicated to giving you added advantages on the job, in your career and in the community association marketplace. APCM is a home for managers in the broader CAI community—a professional society that focuses on you, your career, your job and your professional growth, whether you're an onsite, portfolio, or large-scale community manager.

Best of all, individual manager members of CAI are entitled to APCM benefits and services at no additional cost with your paid CAI membership.

Member benefits from CAI and APCM:

• Community Manager, a redesigned and expanded, full-color, bimonthly newsletter (formerly Community Management) with information and insights tailored to meet your career and professional development needs.
• An expanded members-only area of CAI's website featuring an enhanced Career Center, an expanded National Service Directory, and answers to commonly asked questions regarding governance issues.
• A resource center including sample letters and notices, standardized forms, and document templates to adapt for use in your communities.
• Orientation information introducing your board members to their roles and responsibilities, as well as information on the role of a professional manager.

  The Association of Professional Community Managers will help you gain the professional recognition you earn every day—and help you achieve your personal and professional goals.
