The primary mission of the Chesapeake Region Chapter of the Community Associations Institute (CRC-CAI) is to increase public understanding of condominium and homeowner association governance, to provide guidance to those board members and managers working on behalf of these communities and to provide a forum for networking among the business partners and consumers within the industry.
