Formed in 1994, this diverse group of homeowner leaders, community managers, and representatives from community association business partners provides perspective on how proposed legislation could impact people living and working in community associations.
Legislative Action Committees (LACs) are CAI’s official voice with legislators and regulators in a state. LACs allow CAI to speak with one voice on legislative and regulatory matters that affect community associations, community association managers and CAI business partners. The individual volunteer members of the LACs work countless hours throughout the year to support the needs of community associations; however, new threats and opportunities are requiring our LACs to employ government affairs professionals in order to open the doors of decision makers and maintain a high-level of advocacy. Your contribution is critical in helping the LACs fulfill their advocacy mission, communicate with members and policy makers, raise their profile at state capitols, and retain the services of professionals who help CAI shape the debate concerning issues important to community associations and the professionals that serve them.
The CAI Colorado LAC relies on outside resources such as professional lobbying as a vital and integral part of the legislative process. The volunteers who make up the COLORADO Legislative Action Committee – including homeowner leaders, community managers, and business partners – greatly rely on contributions from management companies and business partners in addition to individuals to continue their important efforts in the legislature. The Colorado LAC needs your financial support to bolster their advocacy activities in 2023 and beyond. We encourage donations from Colorado community associations, business partners, and individuals. Please visit www.caionline.org/lacdonate and donate to “Colorado” to support our continued efforts.
