Education Department Updates
Attention CAMEx Designees
This year has presented all of us with unprecedented challenges, including the ability to volunteer our time and talents to organizations we love to serve. This includes CACM.  

As a CAMEx Designee, in order to maintain that prestigious designation, you are required to volunteer your time to earn 9 CAMEx points annually. Some of the opportunities you have to secure these points are by:

  • Maintaining your existing CCAM or CAFM certification
  • Maintaining your existing MCAM certification
  • Attending the annual Executive Leadership Summit 
  • Serving as a CACM Board Member
  • Actively participating on the Legislative Committee 
  • Serving as a CACM keynote speaker/panelist at key events
  • Writing an ethics case study or an article for a CACM publication
  • Serving as a CACM course instructor
  • Engaging in Public Policy work – lobby an approved issue for CACM
  • Serving as a Specialty Certificate or MCAM evaluator/reviewer
  • Serving on a CACM committee

CACM values your contributions to our industry and to our members. In an effort to demonstrate that appreciation, we have extended your CAMEx through December 31, 2021. What does that mean for you? You now have an additional calendar year to earn the required 9 CAMEx points. For those of you who have earned all or some of these points already, we do thank you and please know these points will remain valid through 12/31/2021.  
Specialty Designations
Did you know that once you secure your CCAM, your educational pursuit may continue beyond CCAM recertification? Have you taken any of the following:
  • Risk Management? 
  • One of CACM’s insurance courses? 
  • New Development Community Management? 
  • High Rise Community Management?
  • Large Scale Community Management?
  • Portfolio Management?

If so, did you know you are on your way to adding a specialty designation to your CCAM? The designation demonstrates a professional accomplishment that is truly valued in our industry. In addition, the CEUs earned toward your designation are also credited toward the CEUs needed for recertification! Please contact Debbie Griffiths, your Education and Credentialing Advisor, at dgriffiths@cacm.org to learn more.
Coming Your Way – The 2021 First Quarter Course Schedule
Your Education and Credentialing team is putting the “finishing touches” on the 2021 First Quarter Course schedule. New in 2021 – courses will now be delivered in the CMWorld! 

What does that mean to you, our manager members? 
  • The continued convenience of online learning
  • Continued interaction with experts in the CID industry, regardless of where you might live in the State of California
  • An enhanced level of networking with colleagues near and far
  • Enhanced engagement and student participation during all course sessions

We are also looking to expand our instructor cadre. Those manager members who have held a valid CCAM for at least 5 years, as well as industry partners with expertise in a specific area of the CID industry, are encourage to join our most talented teaching team.
