About WSCAI Events

Community association board members and volunteer leaders step up to take on positions of service and responsibility. They’re expected to anticipate issues, solve problems, meet the expectations of their residents and protect property values. The CAI Board Leadership Development (BLD) Workshop can help you become a more successful board member as well as learn how to recruit and support new volunteers.

At the BLD Workshop, you’ll learn the role of the board, the president, and other leadership positions, and you’ll identify effective ways to work with professional managers and service providers. Additionally, the BLD Workshop will teach you how to communicate with association residents, hire qualified managers and service providers, develop enforceable rules, interpret governing documents and more. The BLD Workshop provides a comprehensive look at the roles and responsibilities of community association leaders and conveys information to help create and maintain the kind of community people want to call home.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are moving classes to a 4-week online series — four back-to-back Wednesdays. All sessions will run for two hours. Although not required to attend all four weekly sessions; it is recommended, as each week builds on the previous week.

Whether you’re a seasoned community association industry veteran, new to the industry, or have others in your office that might benefit from learning more, this dynamic workshop will help you better understand the unique differences between community associations and apartments, how the role of the community association manager differs from that of a multi-family property manager, and better understand the inner structure of community associations and the process for bid approval and expenditures.

You’ll also learn how economic and other market conditions can impact the industry, how to recognize business resources and leverage other WSCAI partnerships to identify new business opportunities, best position your products and services, and maximize your WSCAI membership.

Learn from a team of industry veterans in a fun, virtual environment. We wish it could be in-person, but it will be a valuable use of your time and you won’t need to leave your desk or sit in traffic. There will also be an opportunity to hear ideas from attendees and network virtually with other Business Partners.

Chapter Luncheons are offered three times a year. They are open to all WSCAI members – including homeowners, board members, managers, management company owners and businesses that service the community association industry.

These luncheons provide an opportunity for networking with peers, a delicious lunch, and 45-60 minutes of industry-specific education.

Chapter Webinars are open to all WSCAI members – including homeowners, board members, managers, management company owners and businesses that service the community association industry.

These Webinar events take the place of a typical Chapter Luncheon.

Community Associations Day, commonly referred to as CA Day, is Washington’s largest educational conference and trade show for condominium and homeowner associations and community managers – it’s often referred to as a home show for condos and HOAs. This annual event is in its 34rd year. Participation has grown from 25 initial attendees to 800+ condominium and HOA representatives and businesses.

We’re back to in-person this year! CA Day will offer nearly 100 industry-specific exhibitors and 11 educational breakout sessions for homeowners, board members and managers.

Virtual Law Day is a half-day educational event for homeowners and board members living in common interest developments (CIDs) and managers who work in the industry. There will be multiple legal-topic workshops taught by experienced attorneys who understand the laws that affect condominiums and HOAs in Washington State. The event will also showcase many industry-related virtual exhibitors.

Net proceeds benefit WSCAI’s Legislative Action Committee (LAC). Law Day is the largest annual fundraiser for the LAC.

WSCAI’s Annual Golf Tournament is a popular themed and fun-filled event, with teams competing at 18-holes of golf.

Registration includes greens fees, carts, light grab-n-go breakfast bites, a morning beverage, boxed lunch, 5 raffle tickets (per golfer), 1 mulligan (per golfer), 1 grand prize ticket (per golfer), 19th hole beverage, and a boxed dinner during the awards presentations.

This tournament will be limited to 144 golfers and sells out quickly. Each of the 18 holes is sponsored by WSCAI member companies – providing beverages, snacks and plenty of laughs and networking.

Each year, a theme is chosen for the Golf tournament, and participants are encouraged to dress up and decorate their carts based on the theme. Hole sponsors also dress up and decorate based on the theme.

More information will be shared as the tournament gets closer.

The purpose of the Community Outreach Committee is to foster members to use their skills and knowledge to support charities or other philanthropic endeavors which may also benefit the Community Association industry or communities where we live and work.

Projects involved in: Ronald McDonald House, Toys for Tots, Earth Day project at a member community association, as well as a Back Pack Drive and a Book Drive Benefiting Mercy Housing Northwest (MHNW).
