Karen Conlon

LAGUNA HILLS, CA – California Association of Community Managers (CACM), the state’s leading community association management education organization, today launched the second phase of its Community Champions awareness campaign.

Part of a statewide program, the Community Champions campaign is focused on raising awareness about the importance of CACM’s California-specific Certified Community Association Manager (CCAM®) designation and educating homeowners about the valuable role community association managers have in overseeing the nearly 50,000 common interest developments (CIDs) or homeowners associations (HOAs) in California.

“More than 14.3 million people, about 38 percent of the state’s population, live in an HOA-managed community, many of which are run by professionally trained community association managers,” said Karen Conlon, president and CEO of CACM.

“These professionals act as champions and have tremendous responsibilities for the residents they serve.

“ They guide volunteer HOA boards through complicated issues like finances, state legislation and dispute resolution, and they oversee all aspects of property maintenance.

“They have a huge impact on the lives of thousands of Californians and it’s time they are recognized for the important role they play.”

At the heart of the Community Champions campaign are testimonials and stories of exemplary community association managers from across the state.

 HOA residents and board members are encouraged to share stories about their community manager champions at  for a chance to win a $500 gift card. 

Based in Laguna Hills, Calif., CACM is the only community association management organization in the nation to offer a California-specific educational program leading to the designation of Certified Community Association Manager (CCAM®) for industry professionals.

CACM empowers a network of nearly 3,000 members to achieve excellence in the industry and enrich communities throughout California. For more information on CACM, please visit www.cacm.org.
