CAI’s Gold Star Community program recognizes communities that  work hard to develop and maintain standards, encourage community participation, maintain fiscal stability and positively impact the quality of life for residents. Homeowners and managers believe Gold Star is an excellent way to evaluate policies and procedures, and assure that their associations are operating within basic industry standards.

But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what members are saying about the Gold Star program:

“As a community manager, I find the Gold Star application to be a valuable tool. I use it to determine how the association and management are operating. Is the board periodically updating the reserve analysis? Does the board adequately keep homeowners informed? Is the association sufficiently insured? The application process helps me ensure the association is meeting its responsibilities.”  –Pat Connolly, PCAM, The Wentworth Group

“The Board at Traditions at Skippack view the Gold Star program as a highly regarded standard for excellence in all facets of community management. Receiving this award confirms to our residents that their community is being managed to the highest standards in the industry. This award also makes our community much more appealing to prospective residents, resulting in strong property values.” –Tom Adamski, President, Traditions at Skippack
