Chesapeake Region Chapter Community Associations Institute

About Us

CAI provides education, tools and resources to people who govern and manage homeowners associations, condominiums and other planned communities. Our mission is to help you make your community a better—even preferred—place to call home.

CAI is a national organization dedicated to fostering vibrant, competent, harmonious community associations. For more than 30 years, CAI has been the leader in providing education and resources to the volunteer homeowners who govern community associations and the professionals who support them. Our members include community association volunteer leaders, professional managers, community management firms and other professionals and companies that provide products and services to associations.

Working closely with our state, regional and local chapters (almost 60 nationwide), we bring together experts to provide the latest information on community association management and governance. We serve our members with books, seminars and workshops, research, continuing education and periodicals, including Common Ground magazine and specialized newsletters on community association management, governance and law.

CAI also advocates for legislative and regulatory policies that support responsible governance and effective management. We represent the interests of our members before the U.S. Congress, federal agencies and other policy-setting bodies on issues such as taxes, insurance, bankruptcy reform and fair housing. In addition, state Legislative Action Committees represent CAI members before state legislatures and agencies on issues such as assessment collection, foreclosure and construction defects

List of Committees

Committees are one of the most valuable resources in achieving the Chapter’s goals.  All committees work under the authority of the Board of Directors, which approves all committee programs, budgets, and expenditures.  The committee structure is a means for broadening members’ involvement in the chapter and for sharing the workload.  Committee involvement is also a natural stepping stone for one day serving on the Chapter’s Board of Directors.
