Board Member Basics
Online Learning for Homeowners and Community Leaders
CAI developed Board Member Basics in support of its mission to inspire responsible and enlightened leadership in homeowner and condominium associations, cooperatives and other common-interest communities. The information in this program is ideal for current association board and committee members, those who aspire to community leadership positions and residents who want to understand how associations can and should function.
While many elements of community association governance are subject to interpretation, virtually all association-governed communities share common characteristics and core principles. Simply stated, there are fundamental standards that can be defined and achieved in virtually any community.
By studying the elements of this program, you will get the information, guidance and perspective you need to help create and maintain the kind of community people want to call home.
Board Member Basics is free to CAI members and nonmembers. All you have to do is click the appropriate links and dedicate the time necessary to review and understand the information. You can then put what you’ve learned into practice—and encourage others to take advantage of this learning opportunity.
Once you have completed this education unit, you may print the “Statement of Completion” and share it with your residents and fellow leaders as evidence that you have taken this important step to understand better the nature of community association governance and the role you can play as a volunteer leader.
