Master of Community Association Management (MCAM)
The ultimate achievement for community association managers.
MCAM CERTIFICATION
The Master of Community Association Management (MCAM) certification is the highest professional recognition available for California community association managers.
What attracted you to earn the MCAM?
It demonstrates a high level of competence in my field.
In your experience, what benefits have you noticed with the MCAM compared to the CCAM designation?
The MCAM has fortified my self-confidence and my credibility with our board members. I believe it is also a source of satisfaction for our management company’s owners, who generously underwrote more than half of my investment in coursework, applications, travel to classes, etc. They believe strongly in supporting education and in professional achievement. This is embedded in our company culture.
