"Sacramento is a numbers game being it dollars or bodies. Large numbers of individuals with a common voice will succeed where a single voice gets lost in the crowd. This is where CACM makes a tremendous difference speaking for a large group whose interest crosses party lines. ... With CACM's Legislative Committee and the efforts of [CACM lobbyist] Jennifer Wada and [CACM President & CEO] Karen Conlon, not much gets started in Sacramento that we 'don't see coming.'"

"Without the dedication of CACM and its PAC Fund, much harmful and detrimental legislation would have been made into law. Community associations also derive the benefits of our reasonable approaches to legislation. We are all for consumer protection, but without the education and information that CACM and its lobbyists provide to the lawmakers, much law would be in effect that had good intentions to start with and ended up being a financial burden to the homeowner member."

"Prior to CACM's legislative involvement, there was no one to represent our interests as community managers. In fact, prior to CACM's own legislative bill, there was no legal definition of a professional community manager at all. The legislature's understanding of the management industry, separate and apart from the homeowner associations that we represent, is due to the ongoing, professional education provided specifically for our elected representatives and their staff by CACM."
