International Community Association Managers Day is observed every year on June 13 to recognize the skilled professionals who keep communities running smoothly. While traditionally focused on managers of homeowner associations and condominium boards, this day is also a perfect opportunity for multifamily property managers to explore how CAM certification can enhance their careers!

Whether you’re currently managing rental communities or looking to advance into leadership roles, earning a CAM credential can give you a competitive edge, and InterSolutions is here to support your journey.

What is CAM Certification?

CAM stands for Certified Apartment Manager or Community Association Manager, depending on the credentialing body and your location. In the context of this blog, we’re focusing on the Certified Apartment Manager credential offered through organizations like the National Apartment Association (NAA).

CAM certification demonstrates that you have the skills, knowledge, and professionalism to manage multifamily communities effectively. Topics typically covered include:

• Financial management and budgeting

• Legal responsibilities and fair housing compliance

• Marketing and resident retention

• Property maintenance and risk management

• Leadership and communication

It’s a well-rounded credential that shows employers you’re serious about your property management career.

Why It’s Worth Considering—Even If You’re Not in an HOA Role

Even though Community Association Managers typically work with homeowner associations, the skills developed through CAM certification are directly applicable to rental properties. Here’s why:

• Stronger leadership skills: CAM training sharpens your ability to lead onsite teams and improve resident satisfaction.

• Career mobility: Many regional and corporate roles in property management look for CAM certification as a qualifier.

• Higher earning potential: CAM-certified professionals are often more competitive for promotions and salary increases.

• Credibility with owners and residents: Certification builds trust and shows you’re up to date on industry standards.

On International Community Association Managers Day, it’s the perfect time to invest in your own growth, because skilled property managers make communities thrive, whether they’re part of an HOA or a rental portfolio.
