There are more than 333,600 association-governed communities in the United States. What sets your community apart from the crowd? Washington Metropolitan Chapter Community Associations Institute is looking for the communities that best represent common-interest community living, excel in two-way communications with residents, and think of others beyond the community’s borders.
There are six awards. Four of the awards are based on community size:
- Very Large (1000+ units)
- Large (500-999 units)
- Medium (150-499 units)
- Small (1-149 units)
Winners in these four categories are not eligible to compete in the contest the following year. All communities are eligible to apply for the Communicator of the Year and/or Charitable Community of the Year awards every year.
What is the Community Association of the Year Award (CAY)?
The Community Association of the Year Award recognizes the communities that best demonstrate excellence in all facets of association operations and governance by following CAI’s Best Practices. The application focuses on the essentials of community association management and volunteer leadership. The statements are designed to determine how well your community incorporates Best Practices into its operations.
