From The Executive Director

Running a community association is like running a business. The best way for homeowners to protect their investment is to hire a qualified, certified manager.

Four credentials distinguish individuals serving in the community association management profession, with professionalism, integrity and knowledge. A separate credential recognizes the ultimate in professionalism for companies specializing in community association management.

The Essential Credential: CMCA

The only internationally accredited certification program in the field, the first-level Certified Manager of Community Associations credential is administered by the Community Association Manager International Certification Board.

To earn the CMCA®, managers must complete a pre-approved course on community association management, have 5 years or more experience managing community associations, or hold another approved license or credential. Candidates must also pass the CMCA Examination; a 120 question, psychometrically sound examination prepared under national standards and guidelines and comply with the CAMICB Standards of Professional Conduct

Managers who earn the CMCA credential can expect to earn about 20% more than noncredentialed managers. To maintain the CMCA, managers must complete 16 hours of continuing education every two (2) years.
