Benefits of Membership
The value of a CAI membership continues to become invaluable. The level of services and expertise you receive is second to none!
The Ohio Valley Chapter offers the following benefits to all members, whether you are an individual homeowner, a community manager, or a professional selling to and servicing the industry.
Structure = Leadership
The National network of CAI members is growing daily! There are more than 17,000 individuals and organizations that belong to CAI, all providing opportunities to network and exchange ideas and information.
The Ohio Valley Chapter's membership is comprised of community members, professional and service members.
Resources = Education
One of the most valuable benefits of membership is a monthly subscription to our magazine, the Chapter's most educational resource, dedicated to providing quality, expert articles and information about the daily operations and issues community association managers and volunteers face. Our magazine has a circulation of 3,500 and a readership of 12,000. Subscriptions are available.
In addition, each member receives Common Ground, CAI's award-winning, four-color magazine. Published six times a year it's the ultimate resource for community association governance, management, and operations. Each issue is packed with feature articles and columns designed to help readers preserve, protect, and enhance their communities-by running productive meetings, enforcing rules in a consistent yet reasonable way, becoming familiar with the legislative and regulatory pressures facing the industry, planning and budgeting for all repairs and replacements, performing preventive and ongoing maintenance, understanding historical and contemporary trends in common-interest development, involving residents in the business of their association, and doing all the other things, great and small, that make a neighborhood.
The Membership Directory is a benefit used on a daily basis by many of our members. A complete listing of all members is accompanied by a preface of the chapter's mission and goals, pertinent Chapter and industry information.
A progressive communication tool, caiohiovalley.org is the Chapter's web site, which supplies industry related news, upcoming events, and jurisdictional legislative information. CAI National's web site, https://caionline.org/ also provides an opportunity to link up and communicate with other community association's pages and members nationwide.
Federal, state, and local legislative incentives are driven by five National and Chapter legislative committees. Their activities are devoted to lobbying legal agendas in the community association forum. Member involvement has been key in achieving legislative successes and is strongly encouraged. The Annual Legal Update reviews current legislative issues and law changes, and legislative updates appear regularly in QuorumTM magazine.
CAI Administers nationally recognized designation programs, which recognize those professionals in the community association industry who have met required levels of experience and education.
