Certified Apartment Manager (CAM Designation)
(Spring 2007)
A new professional designation rental property management program, the Certified Apartment Manager (CAM), will be offered in the Spring 2007. This nationally recognized 56-hour education program comes to SFAA as part of our new affiliation through CAA with the National Apartment Association. Additional information and details on the program and its schedule, courses, and costs will be forthcoming through SFAA and CAA.
Those who hold the CCRM designation will be able to upgrade to the CAM designation this year by completing certain requirements of the program rather than having to take the entire program.
Updates on the details of this “grandfathering” process as well as the full CAM program are forthcoming and will be made available to members here and in the SF Apartment Magazine.
