Community Association Seal of Distinction

Recognizing community associations who do the right things.

The Seal of Distinction program honors association boards and managers who lead communities that are great places to own and live. These association leaders actively demonstrate that the best way to serve their members is through understanding, funding and following Best Practices.

Earning the Seal of Distinction (a 3-year honor) is not only an achievement to be proud of, but also a tangible asset for home values in the association.

The program also serves as an aspirational tool, to publicly demonstrate a set of standards that can be a work-in-progress goal.

 

How does your community association stack up? See the 2025 Seal of Distinction checklist.

If your association meets these standards, we encourage you to apply here by Friday, March 28, 2025.

Community associations earning the 2025 Seal of Distinction will be announced and celebrated at the 2025 Annual Conference & Expo in August in Wilmington, NC.

 

Background:

The program launched in 2023, resulting in the recognition of these 24 communities across the state who demonstrated excellence across objective standards in the arenas of finance, insurance, reserves, governance, and enforcement of community policy.
