A community association manager (CAM) is a professional who is responsible for the daily operations and management of a community association. Community associations can include homeowner associations (HOAs), condominium associations, cooperative housing, and other types of planned communities. The role of a community association manager is to oversee and facilitate various administrative, financial, and operational tasks to ensure the smooth functioning of the community.
The responsibilities of a community association manager can vary depending on the size and complexity of the community, but they typically include the following:
1. Financial Management: CAMs are involved in managing the community's financial affairs, including creating and managing budgets, collecting assessments or dues from residents, paying bills, and maintaining financial records.
2. Administrative Duties: Community association managers handle administrative tasks such as maintaining records, handling correspondence, and managing communication with residents, vendors, and the board of directors.
3. Vendor Management: CAMs coordinate and oversee services provided by outside vendors, such as landscapers, maintenance contractors, security personnel, and other service providers required for the proper upkeep and functioning of the community.
4. Enforcement of Community Rules: Community association managers enforce the rules, regulations, and bylaws established by the community association. They handle violation notices, follow up on compliance, and may assist the association's board in taking appropriate action when necessary.
5. Meeting Management: CAMs help organize and manage meetings, including board meetings, and annual meetings. They may also attend these meetings and provide support to the board of directors.
6. Maintenance and Repairs: Community association managers oversee maintenance and repair tasks within the community, ensuring that common areas and facilities are well-maintained and any necessary repairs are promptly addressed.
7. Resident Relations: CAMs act as a point of contact for residents, addressing their inquiries, concerns, and requests in a professional and timely manner.
Community association managers play a vital role in creating a well-functioning and harmonious living environment for residents within the community.
