March Las Vegas Luncheon with speaker, Dawn Bauman, CAI National CEO, "Trust, Talent & Technology: Leading an Industry in an Age of Disruption"

Trust, Talent & Technology: Leading an Industry in an Age of Disruption, Special Speaker, Dawn Bauman, CAE, Chief Executive Officer, Community Associations Institute

As artificial intelligence, private equity, and social skepticism challenge traditional models of expertise, the community association industry must take a look at what leadership and credibility look like. This presentation addresses the erosion and rebuilding of trust, the future workforce pipeline, and why professional standards, competency, and civility are foundational to the communities we serve.

 Dawn M. Bauman, CAE, is the Chief Executive Officer of Community Associations Institute (CAI), the leading international organization representing the community association housing sector, including condominiums, homeowners associations, cooperatives, and strata communities. This housing model is the fastest growing globally and represents an estimated 30 to 60 percent of housing worldwide, particularly in major urban markets.

With more than two decades of leadership at CAI, Bauman is a recognized authority on the community association housing model. As CEO, she advances a vision centered on global expansion, governance modernization, safety and sustainability, professional excellence, innovation, and effective advocacy to ensure community associations remain resilient and well governed. A trusted media source featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, Bauman is also a sought-after global speaker and serves as CEO of the Foundation for Community Association Research, leading applied research efforts providing data and insights for the community association housing model.
