CAI Board Leader Certificate Course

If you live in a condominium, homeowners' association, or housing cooperative, you know how important it is to have an effective governing board of directors.  The CAI Board Leader Certificate is designed to provide a foundation for effective community association board leadership.   

Whether you are an experienced board member or just thinking about getting involved, this certificate will help you become a more informed and effective leader.   


  • Module 1: Governing Documents and Roles & Responsibilities. To start you on the right path, Module 1 helps you understand the legal authority for your association. It also clarifies the duties and responsibilities of each board member and the professionals who are available to assist the board.
  • Module 2: Communications, Meetings, and Volunteerism. Module 2 helps you learn how to maximize volunteer involvement in your community association by improving board communications, conducting effective meetings, and building community spirit.
  • Module 3: Fundamentals of Financial Management. Module 3 introduces the fundamentals of association financial management, including guidelines for protecting your association’s assets, preparing a budget, planning for the future, and collecting assessments.
