Tucson, Arizona -- Brett Anderson, Vice President of Cadden Community Management recently joined the elite group of community association managers who have earned the Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM®) credential from Community Associations Institute (CAI). Anderson is one of more than 2,200 managers worldwide who have earned the highest level of professional recognition in the community association field.
More than 60 million Americans live in an estimated 315,000 association-governed communities.
Brett was born and raised in Tucson and holds a Bachelor's degree in environmental microbiology with a minor in business administration from the University of Arizona. She joined the Cadden team in 2012 as a portfolio manager. She is now responsible for overseeing a team of community managers, as well as being responsible for quality assurance.
Cadden Community Management has enjoyed over 30 years of success in the association management industry. Today, the company is responsible for maintaining and increasing property values of homes in over 225 communities in Tucson, Green Valley and Sierra Vista.
To earn the PCAM credential, managers must have five years of community association management experience and complete more than 100 hours of course work. In addition, credentialed PCAMs must fulfill continuing education and service requirements, as well as adhere to a code of ethics.
“Professionals who earn CAI credentials maximize the value they can provide to their community association clients,” said CAI Chief Executive Officer Thomas M. Skiba, CAE. “Not only have these professionals demonstrated a personal commitment to self-improvement, but they have also elevated their practical knowledge and expertise. That’s what all community associations need, and what board members and residents deserve.”
Professional managers provide administrative, operational and managerial counsel to the boards that govern homeowners and condominium associations. Managers typically are responsible for managing budgets and contractors, directing association personnel and overseeing compliance with association covenants and restrictions.
CAI is an international organization dedicated to building better communities. CAI and its 60 chapters work on behalf of the professionals and volunteers engaged in the management and governance of homeowner and condominium associations, cooperatives and other planned communities. CAI’s nearly 32,000 members include community association volunteer leaders, managers, management companies and businesses that provide products and services to these communities.
