ACM and Board Member Education

ACM Community Management feels that an educated Board of Directors is an effective Board of Directors. So we have made a commitment to the betterment of our Boards by providing and encouraging education and training.  These opportunities come in many forms and in many venues.

The field of property management is a fluid and ever-changing arena, as can recently be attested to with the Palm versus 2800 court decision, and Board members need to be aware of and accepting of these changes.  How can they be prepared for what is out there now and for what lies ahead?

ACM provides quarterly seminars given by professionals in the property management field, including some of our own licensed managers and senior staff.  These seminars are held in various areas of our market to give each Board the opportunity of taking advantage of these programs.  We also write articles in trade publications and participate in CAI and ACTHA trade shows and events. Joining these organizations and actively participating in what they have to offer compliments the offerings from ACM. 

ACM is also glad to customize educational sessions and bring them to your location.

As we all know, learning is a life-long endeavor and ACM is filling the need in property management education.

Seminar: The Palm Case

The issue of how your Association's Board conducts and discusses business was recently addressed by the Illinois Appellate Court. Some of the issues they addressed were; conducting business in a closed session meeting, Board voting by e-mail, managements authority on executing contracts and the transferring of surplus association funds are just a few of the topics that will be covered in this seminar. So, what should your Board do in the aftermath of this decision? A legal expert will tell you how to keep your association operating effectively within the boundaries of this decision.
