CAI TENNESSEE EDUCATION EVENTS & INFO
CAI TENNESSEE CHAPTER
2023 BOARD LEADER CERTIFICATE COURSE
Each session will begin at 11:30 am and will last between 90 minutes and 2 hours.
All sessions will be presented by recognized professionals in the community association industry, in an informal style that will encourage participation and questions.
To demonstrate its commitment to supporting the ongoing education of community association leaders in Middle Tennessee, CAI-TN is underwriting the cost of the Board Member Tool Kit. Each attendee will receive a package of reference material, including a workbook and several handbooks on such topics as meetings and financial management.
Board members are invited to register for each session individually, and do not have to attend all five. However, Board members who do attend every session will receive a Board Leader Certificate from the Community Associations Institute.
Lunch at Maggiano’s will be provided by sponsor members of CAI-TN.
Board members of all types of community associations – including HOAs, condominiums, mixed use and Master Associations – will find these classes useful. See the following page for a summary of the topics and dates.
