Last week’s CAI-OrangeCounty Symposium, aka the HOA Block Party, was one for the books! 🎉 A packed trade show floor, valuable education, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the people who make this industry what it is. We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate THIS . 🏘️

We’re proud to see Senior Attorney Dyanne L. Peters featured in the September issue of The Advocate Magazine! ⚖️

Her article, “Homeowners Associations Rules Enforcement Using ADR,” takes a closer look at alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and how it fits into the HOA enforcement process - including when ADR is required, when exceptions may apply, and what boards should consider before escalating an enforcement matter to litigation.

For HOA boards and community managers, understanding the role of ADR can help ensure enforcement decisions are not only effective, but also procedurally sound.

🎙️ Your reputation is part of your business.

For attorneys especially, integrity and credibility are everything. Once that trust is jeopardized, it can be difficult to get back.

🎓 One year of CAM University calls for a celebration!

We brought our CAM U students, graduates, sponsors, and supporters together for a Graduation Happy Hour on the Tinnelly Law Group outdoor patio to celebrate an incredible first year.

We recognized the community managers who have come through the program - including those who earned their CMCA designation - and the sponsors who have helped make CAM University possible.

At the heart of it all is a shared commitment to a better-educated HOA industry and to supporting managers who are serious about growing their knowledge and careers.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of Year One. We’re proud of what we’ve built together and excited for what’s next! 🥂

A strong HOA board isn’t just about making decisions today. It’s about understanding the financial impact of those decisions for the community tomorrow.

We’re proud to see our Managing Partner, Steve Tinnelly, Esq., featured in The National Law Review discussing the financial leadership challenges facing California HOA boards and the importance of thoughtful, informed financial stewardship.

From budgeting and reserves to long-term planning and fiduciary responsibility, financial leadership plays a critical role in helping communities remain stable and prepared for what’s ahead.
