Plan to attend a Professional Development Seminar in 2012. These half-day programs focus on specific topics within the areas of interpersonal communication, project management, leadership, efficiency and other general business skills. Managers will learn valuable actions and skills to increase their professionalism and effectiveness with boards and other industry professionals.

 

Watch for more details later this year. CCAMs earn 4 CEUs. 

CACM’s debut round of Professional Development Seminars came to Northern California (Concord) on August 30, 2011, and Southern California (Costa Mesa) on September 1, 2011.

 

This seminar was directed at helping attendees manage all aspects of the way they communicate with others – visually, verbally and on paper. Attendees gathered processes, templates and tools to implement in their everyday communications, all of which were geared toward increasing their level of credibility and professionalism with board members and homeowners. Specific topics included professional business writing, facilitation skills and tailoring communications to different generational and socio-economic groups; plus, attendees also learned tips to dress for success, stay organized and maintain personal social media accounts. 

 

Attendees at these debut programs share what they liked best:

 

“Both speakers presented the information well and kept the audience engaged. I walked away learning how to communicate better and efficiently with my boards, community members and my team members!”
