C A I CAI-NE Members Serve CAI National Mission he CAI Member Representation Groups (MRG) recognize the unique characteristics and needs of each membership group including professional community managers, business partners and community association volunteers. MRGs — which include the Association of Professional Community Managers (APCM) Board, Business Partners (BP) Council, and Center for Community Association Volunteers (CCAV) — give these membership groups a stronger voice in crafting national CAI policy, and provide a vehicle for making recommendations on all CAI services and benefits. Three local New England chapter members were recently elected to serve on CAI representation groups, and we congratulate them on this national achievement and for their contributions on a local as well as national level. APCM is a home for managers in the broader CAI community — a professional society that focuses on managers, their careers, jobs and professional growth for onsite, portfolio or large-scale community managers. Twelve members represent management company CEOs and all other community association manager members.
