Volunteer Leadership

CAI is governed by dedicated members who help shape the future of the growing, international organization, CAI chapters and the community association marketplace at large. 

CAI is governed by a 15-member Board of Trustees. The Board is supported by three Membership Representation Groups, elected members who give their constituencies a voice in crafting CAI policy and work to ensure that CAI continues to provide services and benefits that members need and value:

  • Business Partners Council —Twelve members represent business partner members.
  • Community Association Managers Council —Twelve members represent management company CEOs and all other community association manager members.
  • Homeowner Leaders Council — Six members represent homeowner leader members. 

These councils recognize the unique characteristics and needs of each of the CAI member classes, give them a stronger voice in crafting policy, and provide a vehicle for making recommendations on CAI services and benefits.
