Our Community Awards Program reflects CAI Austin's commitment to responsible community governance. The program is designed to reward outstanding performance by common-interest community volunteer leaders, professional community management, and the professional service and equipment providers who deliver superior support. This program is an excellent way to market your company to current and potential clients in this unique and often hard to reach market.
Entries will be reviewed by a distinguished group of central Texas dignitaries, and judged on their own merit. Awards may be presented to multiple entries within each category, as the judges deem appropriate. Awards will be presented separately for Homeowner Associations versus Condominium Associations, and within each class, large communities versus smaller communities. In addition, we will honor a Community of the Year (one condominium and one HOA) for their service beyond their own community, a CAI Volunteer of the Year, and present a CAI Lifetime Achievement Award.
Entries do not need to be from CAI members, nor for CAI member communities. Award entries are open to all in the greater Austin area. Any community may be submitted for multiple award categories.
