Our aim is to promote the profession of community management through education, communication and collaboration with all stakeholders that have an interest in the successful management of freehold communities. As an international affiliate of the Community Association Institute (CAI), CAIME has access to the educational and practical resources available directly from the largest International Institute specialising in the subject.
