Homeowner Education
CAI-Georgia values our homeowner leaders and offers a variety of resources to help homeowners and community association leaders. These resources are designed to encourage effective and engaging leaders. Our objective is to inspire community associations to become better—even preferred—places to call home. CAI-Georgia has over 200 homeowner leaders and we offer virtual education throughout the year!
The homeowner leader virtual education classes are bought to you by our Education Committee. The one hour subject classes are taught by our Precious Metal Platinum Management Company experts. These monthly virtual education class topics are relative to what your HOA Board should be doing at that time!
We invite all our members and future members to attend these events. All the virtual education is no cost to members and very minimum cost to future members.
They are more resources provided to homeowners on the CAI National Website, including virtual courses and publications. To find out more click here!
