Summer Is In Session

You can still sign up to take these courses this summer:

Foundational Ethics for Community Managers

July 31

Integrity is the number one quality employers and clients value. During this interactive course, a variety of scenarios that demonstrate the official rules of conduct for community managers will be discussed. Participants will review CACMs Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Practice and gain an understanding of ethics complaints, disciplinary actions, and the appeals procedures. Upon completion of session 2, students are required to successfully complete a course exam.

Explaining Financial Statements

August 1, 8 and 15

If explaining the financials to your board is not your strong suit, gain the knowledge and credibility you should be projecting as the agent of a multi-million-dollar corporation. This course will remove the “boring” or “intimidation” factor associated with learning about numbers and involve you in real-life examples and hands-on activities that provide a solid understanding of community association financial record-keeping and reporting. You will leave this course prepared to better explain the activities that drive the numbers and assist board members in understanding financial statements.

Basics of Association Management

August 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 27 and 28

This eight-session series provides a broad overview of the CID industry and addresses specific requirements to you as a community manager. Upon completion of sessions 1-4 and sessions 5-8, students are required to successfully complete both course exams.
