CAI-GRIE HOMEOWNER LEADER EDUCATION

BY: CAI-GRIE EDUCATION COMMITTEE

The mission of this CAI Chapter is to advance the community association industry through positive image, professionalism, advocacy, education, and networking. Education is one of the cornerstones of our organization, and the goal of the Education Committee is to bring you education that serves to advance not only the community association industry as a whole, but your community and your experience within your community.

Below is a list of education that we think would be accessible to, and helpful for, a Homeowner Leader who wants to continue to grow and develop their skills as a leader. If you want more information on ANY of these classes, please check out the “Education & Expos” tab on our new website, cai-grie.org.

Thursday, April 16: Educational EXPO Experience at Pechanga Casino & Resort Conference Center (POSTPONED)

The Educational EXPO Experience begins with education. In April we will have an amazing speaker come in to share tips, tricks and inspiration that can change how you approach your job every day. Afterward, during the EXPO, attendees have a chance to visit exhibiting business partners to hear more about the latest trends, while they enjoy the exquisite food stations scattered throughout the EXPO!

June 3, 2020: Educational EXPO Experience at Victoria Gardens

Have you ever been in a situation where something doesn’t feel right? But perhaps, you wonder, this is just the way they DO things in this industry? Join us in “The Twilight Zone” where actual experiences are turned into a presentation to help everyone recognize situations that don’t serve the best interests of our communities and help us to understand how to handle those when we encounter them.

June 20, 2020 (Saturday): Board Leadership Development

Join us for an overview class of the many different areas community association homeowner leaders need to know about in order to successfully lead their community: • Governing Documents and Roles & Responsibilities • Communications, Meetings & Volunteerism • Fundamentals of Financial Management • Professional Advisors & Service Providers • Association Rules and Conflict Resolution
