HENDRICKS COUNTY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION MANAGERS PASS NATIONAL CERTIFICATION EXAM
AVON, IN - Becky Harris, Property Manager/Real Estate Broker and Susan Webb, Property Manager/Real Estate Broker of Homes&Homesites, Inc., have each been named a Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) by the National Board of Certification for Community Association Managers (NBC-CAM). Becky and Susan join more than 7,000 CMCA certificants nationwide who have demonstrated the professional knowledge that is so important for managing condominium and homeowner associations and cooperatives.
Homes&Homesites, Inc. is a boutique property management and real estate company located in Hendricks County. Their mission is to promote a strong sense of community and to maintain clear lines of communication between homeowners and management. They assume the day-to-day responsibility of their Association's business by conducting regular property inspections, selecting and monitoring vendor activity, safeguarding operating and reserve funds, and enforcing compliance with the Association's governing documents.
To obtain and maintain the CMCA credential, a manager must complete comprehensive course work, pass a National Certification Examination, adhere to the CMCA Standards of Professional Conduct, and take continuing education courses to recertify.
NBC-CAM is the first and only nationwide organization created solely to certify community association managers and to help consumers identify managers who have demonstrated fundamental competency and knowledge in this profession. With the dramatic increase in association-governed housing over the past 35 years (10,000 community associations in 1970 versus and estimated 286,000 today), there is an expanded need for education in community association management. Fifty-seven million Americans live in association-governed communities.
Professional managers provide administrative, operation and managerial counsel to community association boards. They typically are responsible for managing budgets and contractors, directing association personnel, and overseeing compliance with association covenants and restrictions.
NBC-CAM was established in 1995 by Community Associations Institute (CAI) to ensure that managers have the appropriate skills to effectively manage community associations.
CAI and its more than 50 state, regional, and local chapters work on behalf of the professionals and volunteers engaged in the management and governance of homeowner and condominium associations, cooperatives, and other planned communities. CAI's more than 28,000 members include community association volunteer leaders, managers, management companies, and businesses that provide products and services to these communities.
