CAI Virtual Advocacy Summit set for October 19-21

Washington, DC CAI members and staff will meet with members of Congress and their staff to advocate for federal legislative priorities and be the voice for community associations in this three-day virtual summit.

The 2022 Advocacy Summit will include opening and closing sessions, and 30-60 minute virtual meetings with members of Congress and fellow CAI constituent advocates.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many congressional offices remain closed to the public, but it is still critical for CAI members to meet with their Representatives and Senators during this important annual event.

Constituent voices are critical – and elected officials want to hear from you about the needs in your community.

CAI’s Federal Priorities for 2022 include:

• Financing condominium building repairs;

• Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac condominium and housing cooperative lending rules; and

• Disaster assistance in community associations.

For more information and to register for free for the summit visit www.caionline.org
