Community Associations Institute and the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL) are proud to host the 2022 Community Association Law Sminar, Feb. 9–12, at the La Quinta Resort and Club in La Quinta, Calif.
A one-of-a-kind gathering of attorneys, insurance and risk management professionals, community association management executives, and other industry leaders, CAI's annual Community Association Law Seminar explores emerging legal trends and legislative issues important to the practice of community association law. Attendees will learn about the latest developments on critical community association legal topics including condominium safety, association best practices, and new public policy initiatives following the Champlain Towers South condominium collapse in Surfside, Fla., last June. Other topics will include fair housing laws, discrimination and nuisance complaints, collections, and legislative trends. Attorney attendees will earn mandatory continuing legal education (MCLE) credits in accordance with their state requirements.
Professional education also will be offered through the Insurance Masters Program for those holding a Community Insurance and Risk Management Specialist (CIRMS) designation. The program runs concurrently with the Law Seminar and is designed for experienced insurance professionals. The workshop is taught at a master's level by community association insurance experts. Insurance attendees also will earn continuing education credits in accordance with their credentials.
This premier legal seminar is more relevant than ever. The community association housing model is predicted to be the leading type of housing by 2040, according to projections by the Foundation for Community Association Research, an affiliate organization of CAI. The number of new condominium communities and homeowners associations is expected to increase by 5,000 in 2022, the Foundation reports.
From city-sized, master-planned communities and multi-building condominium complexes to urban cooperatives and homeowners associations built into small tracts of open suburban spaces, U.S. community associations collect $96 billion in assessments from homeowners to fund many essential obligations and services, such as utilities, security, insurance, landscaping, and capital improvement projects. The Community Association Law Seminar is the only conference designed exclusively for legal and risk management professionals serving these communities.
