The CAM I Am Training Course is a program designed to elevate community association management, or CAM, within the service industry. Many CAM professionals find themselves navigating complex scenarios—from the simple to the extreme—without sufficient initial training. This course aims to fill that gap by empowering participants with essential knowledge, critical-thinking skills, and effective resources, allowing them to work smarter rather than harder.
Built on lessons learned from real-world experiences, this program offers insights from both my own career and those of fellow CAM professionals. While industry standards and laws may evolve, the expectation for outstanding people skills and high-quality service in CAM will only continue to rise. CAM I AM prepares you to meet those expectations confidently, offering one-on-one training that includes practical experience with sample financials and budgets. By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to independently management a full association portfolio and board of directors.
