Communit​y association legal issues are the focus of a special, one-day event for community managers, association board members and other homeowners. The CAI Legal Forum is hosted by CAI's eight California chapters and CAI's California Legislative Action Comm​ittee. 


With nearly 50 years of industry experience and a member network of homeowners, managers, attorneys and other business professionals greater than 45,000 strong, CAI is in a unique position to provide both a local focus and a global perspective on the issues that affect community as sociatio​n governance and operations. 

The CAI Legal Forum offers two edu​cation programs—one for community managers and one for board members and other homeowner leaders. Sessions are presented by expert panels, including government officials, seasoned management professionals and members of the prestigious College of Community Association Lawyers, a professional organization that represents the very best attorneys in the industry.

Anyone who lives in, works for or provides services to a California community association will leave the event more informed, more engaged and better able to contribute to a successful community.

This ​event is also offered in Northern California on Sept. 17-18, 2020.
