CAI State Advocacy Day Planning Process Overview
State Advocacy Days hosted by CAI’s legislative action committees and chapters are events designed to engage CAI industry professionals, members, and lawmakers in promoting the interests of the community association housing model and advancing CAI’s legislative agenda at the state level. Participants typically discuss specific issues such as proposed legislation, regulatory changes, or funding for important programs. A State Advocacy Day is an essential tool for CAI legislative action committees and chapters to shape public policy, build relationships with lawmakers, and ensure their members’ interests are represented in state government.
Guides for Effective Advocacy
Each day, decisions are made by legislatures, agencies and courts in local, state and federal jurisdictions that affect community associations.

As part of our commitment to advocacy, CAI provides guidance to assist advocates and maximize their effectiveness. These are guides to help you in your advocacy efforts in the following areas:
