Presented in cooperation with the NJSBA Real Property, Trust & Estate Law Section
This popular and highly-acclaimed program is being offered by NJICLE for the thirteenth consecutive year.
Join this panel of distinguished community association practitioners and consultants for a program that analyzes key issues faced today by community associations. The discussion will include current and challenging issues such as cultural competency, amending governing documents under difficult circumstances, securing your association’s data, understanding the difference between pets and animals, and more.
The lunch time presentation will be a discussion of the legal, budget, reserve and insurance issues learned from the Champlain Towers South building collapse in Surfside, Florida and the balcony failure in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, as well as insight into the community association industry by an attorney, accountant, engineer and insurance professional.
Attendees will earn 1 credit hour toward the Ethics requirement and 1 credit hour toward the Diversity requirement.
Regardless of whether you are experienced in association practice, involved sporadically with association matters, or interested in pursuing the opportunities this field affords, this program will deliver an in-depth look at the most timely and significant concerns of associations governing condominiums and other types of planned communities.
