Education Master Committee (EMC)

This team’s role is to centralize education planning strategy for the chapter. Its recommendations for learning needs are used by volunteers and staff in planning webinars, Annual Conference, Law Day and local in-person learning events. The Committee's sources of ideas will include member suggestions, national CAI topics, fellow chapters’ topics and our own Supporting Partners’ new “Smarter in Five Minutes” series plus the new Attorney Roundtable and Business Partner Advisory Panel groups.
EMPC members also anchor each year’s Law Day and Annual Conference Education Task Forces.

Strategic Committee: Member Values

Note - this group is composed of senior-level managers.

This strategic team develops resources and events primarily designed to serve management company leaders.
Its flagship offering is the annual Higher Thinking Executive Forum.

Membership Development Committee

This group focuses on both recruiting new members and retaining them as members, with special attention to that first year of membership. Working together and independently, Committee members work to:

• Define true value propositions for each member category
• Identify prospects for attending local events and/or joining the chapter
• Design & fulfill first-touch outreach protocol
• Design and fulfill new member “First-Year TLC”
• Identify at-risk members and work to step up engagement
• Act as active CAI boosters, with emphasis on social media

Strategic Committee: Advancing Professionalism

This committee focuses on celebrating outstanding community associations and exemplary managers, as well as any member type's credentialing achievements. Their strategic goal is to promote professionalism in the industry for both volunteer leaders and managers, and management careers in particular.
Their signature program is currently the Community Association of Excellence “Seal of Distinction.”

Law Day Annual Task Force

Community Associations “U” – HOA Basics

In development stage. Open to managers and community leaders.

This Task Force will develop and/or oversee the curricula for a new introductory program on HOA basics for North Carolina, tailored for new and assistant managers and back-office staff. Each half-day program consists of a “welcome to community associations” orientation followed by straight talk. The program will be offered both live and on-demand.

Chapter Board of Directors

Open to all member types- openings are based on member type and generally occur when a given board member’s 6 years of service conclude.

A trade association board’s governance role is significantly different from that of a community association board. In addition to duties of good faith, care and loyalty, the CAI-NC Board sets, enacts and monitors the strategic direction of the chapter's work to fulfill the organization's mission.
Eleven members serve three-year terms, and are elected to fill open seats that vary by membership category in any given year - homeowner, manager, business partner. Members can express interest in Board service at any time via this page, and each fall's Nominating Committee will be informed of their interest.
The Nominating Committee considers a variety of factors in developing each year's slate of candidates:

* Individuals' membership history in CAI and the NC chapter
* Individuals' history of active engagement with CAI and the NC chapter
* Individuals' service and/or past leadership positions within CAI and the chapter (emphasized)
* Individuals' experience with other professional organizations
* Individuals' personal strengths and skill sets
* Demographic, geographic and professional diversity of the board
* Commitment to preparation and active participation in six regular meetings per year plus service on one or more subteams.

Business Partner Advisory Panel

Members of this small group are individually selected based on their service category and individual experience.

This team advises and supports the governance work of the Board of Directors and/or the management work of staff. It serves as both voice and consultant, and helps enhance the overall value of business partners’ engagement in CAI-NC.

Attorney Roundtable

Members of this small group are individually selected to focus on special contributions and challenges these members can address for CAI-NC as a unique business partner category.
