2018 Advocacy Summit

​​​

CAI hosted​​​​ an unparalleled opportunity where ​more than 100 CAI leaders met with Congressional representatives to discuss regulations and laws that impact the 69 million Americans who reside in community associations, through its 2018 Advocacy Summit. 

Held one day prior to the 2018 CAI Annual Conference and Exposition, the one-day advocacy event took place on Tuesday, May 8, 2018, at the U.S. Capitol. ​CAI also honored Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla) and Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) as Heroes of Associations. Sen. Nelson and Rep. Sanford's deep understanding of the community association housing model and their leadership in Congress is incredibly valuable to this housing demographic.​
