CAI Bay Area & Central Chapter

CAI Bay Area & Central Chapter CAI BayCen Chapter serves the educational, business, and networking needs of community associations.

CAI is a worldwide membership association that provides information, education and resources to all those involved in community association governance and management. CAI’s 30,000-plus members include homeowner volunteer leaders, community managers, association management companies and other professional service providers. Working in partnership with 59 domestic chapters, one international chapter

and housing leaders in other nations, CAI also advocates on behalf of common-interest communities before legislatures, regulatory bodies and the courts. We believe homeowner and condominium associations should strive to exceed the expectations of their residents. We work toward this objective by identifying and meeting the evolving needs of the homeowner leaders and professionals who serve associations and by helping our members learn, achieve and excel. Our mission is to inspire professionalism, effective leadership and responsible citizenship, ideals reflected in communities that are preferred places to call home.

Association boards are familiar with their fiduciary duty to maintain their buildings and other common area components, pursuant to their governing documents and the law. Many directors don’t realize that they have an obligation to maintain their corporations as well. An important way to maintain your governing documents is to make sure they are up to date and comply with the law. How do you know if your documents need updating?
