Why Attend Bisnow's HOA & Condo Association Series: Summer Update

This event brings together leading property managers, CAMs, contractors, attorneys, advocates and industry experts to provide practical, real-world guidance on the biggest challenges facing Florida associations today. Through a combination of high-level discussions and course-based educational sessions, attendees will gain actionable strategies for navigating pending legislative changes, managing construction and capital projects, strengthening insurance and risk management practices and preparing communities for hurricane season and emergency response scenarios.


Panels and key takeaways include:


Financing the Fix: How Associations Fund Capital Projects Without Over-Relying on Special Assessments

  • What it actually takes for an HOA to become "lending-ready" including the reserve funding levels, financial documentation, and governance practices banks evaluate before extending credit, and why associations that wait until a special assessment is on the table are already behind

  • Why depository and cash management strategy matters as much as the loan itself,  how the right banking relationship and reserve structure can lower the cost of capital, reduce total borrowing need, and directly shrink what owners are assessed

  • What boards and CAMs should be doing right now,  before the next major capital project hits, to build the credit profile and reserve position that gives them financing options instead of forcing a special assessment
     

CAMs & Board Member Course 1: Project Management Essentials

  • How to structure effective RFPs, evaluate contractor proposals and select the right project team

  • Best practices for managing budgets, timelines, change orders and resident communication during active construction

  • Strategies to minimize operational disruptions, avoid common project pitfalls and improve project oversight from start to finish
     

CAMs Course 2: Hurricane Preparedness for Community Associations

  • How to build and maintain a community-ready hurricane preparedness plan, including pre-storm inspections, resident communication protocols and documentation requirements

  • What CAMs need to know about roof systems, storm vulnerabilities and post-hurricane damage assessment and how to work effectively with roofing professionals in the critical window before and after a storm

  • How to manage vendor relationships, insurance coordination and board communication during active storm response and recovery
