Community Manager Newsletter—Best Practices and Career Strategies

Community managers are the professional backbone of the communities they serve, providing the knowledge and expertise that are crucial to the successful management and operation of associations. They are the reason we recently expanded and enhanced Community Manager.

Distributed six times a year, Community Manager is a full-color, magazine-styled newsletter written for professional community managers of all experience levels as well as management company executives. Articles provide information appropriate for every kind of manager—portfolio, large-scale community, and condominium.

Its diverse content, aided by a crisp layout and sharp writing, makes Community Manager a must for anyone who is serious about reaching professional managers.

Each 16-20-page issue is filled with practical information to help managers meet their on-the-job responsibilities and enhance their professional careers. Regular features include What's Your Problem, Board Relations, Career Path, i-Manager, Strictly Legal, and Shoptalk.

Community Manager readership includes more than 5,500 community managers, and that number grows every day. Many are portfolio managers, professionals who serve multiple associations. The newsletter is also seen by almost 1,500 management company executives, whose firms service tens of thousands of communities.

If you want to talk to the professionals who purchase products and services for community associations, you need to speak through Community Manager.
