Dear CAI Texas Member,
The CAI Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the re-authorization of the CAI Texas Legislative Action Committee, representing a new direction for legislative efforts in the state of Texas with a nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy group. CAI is no longer affiliated with Texas Community Association Advocates (TCAA).
Texas joins 35 other U.S. states with legislative action committees dedicated to CAI’s advocacy mission: To advance, defend, protect, and strengthen public policy for the community association housing model. Volunteer leaders as well as CAI chapters throughout Texas are working together to represent the more than 6 million homeowners living in 49,500 community associations in the state. Get ready, Austin. Here we come!
Everything’s bigger in Texas, and we want the legislative action committee to be the biggest and the best. That’s where you come in; the more people become involved, the more effective our advocacy efforts will be in the state legislature. If you are interested in serving on a committee, being an advocate, or just staying informed, please let us know by emailing your CAI chapter executive director:
Austin Chapter: Robbie Williams, robbie@caiaustin.org
Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter: James Nicholson, office@dfwcai.org
Greater Houston and San Antonio Chapters: Jesus Azanza, jazanza@caihouston.org or ced@caisa.org.
To fulfill our mission, we also are building our funding base. As we transition to this new year, please consider making a contribution to the CAI Texas Legislative Action Committee at advocacy.caionline.org/lac-donation-form.
We look forward to working with you to protect the collective interests of those who live in and work for community associations in Texas.
Have a Happy New Year!
