Community Associations Institute
The Community Associations Institute (CAI) is an influential trade association and special interest group headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia with about 60 chapters in the United States that provides "education and resources to the volunteer homeowners who govern community associations", and petitions for legislative and regulatory beneficence for its members.
CAI is responsible for the National Board of Certification for Community Association Managers (NBC-CAM) program that was established in 1995 and has played a vital role in manager licensing laws in states around the country. Notably, Illinois developed a licensing law which was enacted in 2009.
