The Community Association Institute Awards FirstService Residential associates with Top Industry Professional Credential
Chicago, IL (September, 5 2018) — FirstService Residential, Chicagoland’s leading property management company, is proud to announce that three of our community managers have joined the elite group of community association managers who have earned the Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM®) credential from Community Associations Institute (CAI). Elizabath Sokacich, Kristin Ward and Brian Butler join 1,000 managers nationwide who have earned the highest level of professional recognition in the community association field.
To earn the PCAM credential, managers must have five years of community association management experience and complete more than 100 hours of course work. In addition, credentialed PCAMs must fulfill continuing education and service requirements, as well as adhere to a code of ethics.
“Professionals who earn CAI credentials maximize the value they can provide to their community association clients,” said CAI Chief Executive Officer Thomas M. Skiba, CAE. “Not only have these professionals demonstrated a personal commitment to self-improvement, but they have also elevated their practical knowledge and expertise. That’s what all community associations need, and what board members and residents deserve.”
“We are proud to have a culture of constant learning and professional development at FirstService Residential,” said Asa Sherwood, president of FirstService Residential Illinois. “We are committed to investing in our team to ensure we have the skills and knowledge to deliver expert management services that make a difference, every day, for the communities we serve.”
