In order to better serve its members, the Community Associations Institute (CAI) has extended the early bird registration deadline for its 48th National Conference, to be held May 4-6 at the Anaheim Hilton in Anaheim, Calif. Now, prospective conference attendees may register until April 14 at the reduced rate of $525.

Educational sessions at this year's conference have been arranged into five program tracks. They are Human Potential, Innovative Practices, Professional Development, Special Interest and Large-Scale Managers. CAI has also lined up some of the best minds in community association management to present educational courses in all five tracks.

In addition to the educational opportunities, CAI has lined up some great social activities for attendees. The Orange County CAI Chapter will host "A Magic Night at the Magic Kingdom," where conference attendees can visit Disneyland and take part in a special CAI party. CAI's national award winners will be announced, as well as the induction of the 2000-2001 Board of Trustees and the Research Foundation Board, at the Cinco de Mayo Awards Reception Dinner and Dance on May 5. This black tie optional event is an award-winning evening that's not to be missed!

The Community Associations Institute is a nonprofit association created in 1973 to educate and represent the nation's 205,000 community associations—condominium associations, homeowner associations and cooperatives. CAI members include homeowners, associations and related professionals and service providers.
