2018 Legal Seminar Series

The 2018 Seminar Series has been scheduled.  The dates and locations for the Seminar sessions are listed below.   Each Seminar includes a Legislative Update, plus four or five other topics.  The sessions will be approved by the Community Association Managers International Certification Board (www.camicb.org) to fulfill continuing education requirements for the CMCA® certification.  

Please note that due to demand, we have two seminars in the Fairfax location, so clients can pick which session they prefer to attend.  Also, this year’s Roanoke session will occur on a Wednesday (instead of Thursday, as in previous years).  Topics for 2018 are listed below, and this site will eventually be updated to show what topics will be presented at each session.
