How We Help Our Members

CAI represents hundreds of homeowner, condominium and cooperative associations and the thousands of homeowners who reside in these communities. CAI’s focus is on providing education, information and legislative advocacy services. These efforts are enhanced by the work of CAI’s Pennsylvania and New Jersey Legislative Action Committees.

Educational services include programs geared to professional association managers, and the Essentials of Community Association Volunteer Leadership program, a one-day course for volunteer leaders in community associations.

The chapter’s award winning 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.

Publications include CAI national’s Common Ground magazine, and the chapter’s quarterly publication, Community Assets.
