What is a CMCA^®?

CMCA^® stands for Certified Manager of Community Associations^®.  Administered by the National Board of Certification for Community Association Managers (NBC-CAM), the CMCA program helps ensure that managers have the knowledge, experience, and integrity to provide the best possible service to your association. 

Why should we hire a CMCA^®?

A community association operates as a government, a community, and a business, making it a truly specialized type of organization. Leading America's 250,000 community associations are more than a million volunteers—homeowners who dedicate their free time to serve on boards and committees.

As a board member, trustee, or volunteer leader working with your association or cooperative, you have fiduciary responsibilities that obligate you to make decisions that can have a profound financial and social impact on your community. Receiving professional and accurate advice and guidance on issues such as reserves, maintenance, insurance, budgets, governance, contracts, the law, and rules enforcement can mean the difference between prosperity and disaster.

  
Many experts who work in these fields must earn degrees and pass tests to be certified. So why would a board risk hiring a professional who may not be qualified to look after their homes and their community?

How do managers earn the CMCA^®?

The CMCA^® program is the only national certification program designed exclusively for condominium, cooperative, and homeowner association managers.

The CMCA^® certification recognizes professionals who have demonstrated the fundamental knowledge needed to manage community associations.

Managers with this certification have:

• Successfully completed Community Associations Institute's (CAI's) Professional Management Development Program (PMDP) course, The Essentials of Community Association Management (M-100).

• Passed the National Certification Examination, administered by NBC-CAM.

• Adhere to standards of professional conduct
