8. LICENSES, CERTIFICATIONS &
INSURANCE
Be sure to look into all of the company's applicable licenses, certifications, and
insurance. Your state may already have requirements in place for doing business,
but that will not always be the case. There are several nationally accepted
certifications you may want to ask about, including those from the Community
Associations Institute (CAI). Each one of CAI's certifications requires rigorous
training and course work to ensure the individual is prepared for the job. Their
highest certification is the Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM).
