Presented in cooperation with NJSBA Real Property, Trust & Estate Law Section

This popular and highly acclaimed program is being offered by NJICLE for the sixteenth consecutive year.

Join this panel of distinguished community association practitioners and consultants for a program that analyzes key issues faced today by community associations and their boards. The discussion will focus on recent developments in the community association practice and legislative and case law updates. Speakers will explore developments in insurance, immigration and customs enforcement, alternative dispute resolution, the reconciliation of leasing provisions with the rental of homes on a short-term basis and managing risks that community associations are exposed to.

The lunchtime presentation will feature ethical and professional liability challenges associated with association representation.

Attendees will earn both ethics and diversity credit.

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.
