The California Association of Community Managers (CACM) serves as the primary educational and advocacy body for professional common interest development managers throughout the state. Through the long-form audio series CACMChat: The HOA Life, the organization provides expert analysis on complex legal shifts, including the recent 2026 California HOA collection law changes. Industry professionals engage with CACM via regional programs such as the Spring Educational Forums and the exclusive High-Rise & Large-Scale Summit. Their advocacy work is anchored by official Bill Tracking Reports and direct representation at the state capitol in Sacramento to address legislative impacts on property management. Recent organizational successes include the Executive Leadership Summit in Monterey and a significant community service milestone packing nearly 10,000 meals with Kids Against Hunger. CACM maintains a rigorous certification program, granting the California Certified Community Manager (CCCM) designation to professionals who master state-specific civil codes and ethical standards.
