ASF’s Howard Carter Earns Prestigious PCAM Designation

MIRAMAR, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Association Services of Florida (ASF), an Associa company, proudly congratulates Howard Carter, General Manager for Sunrise Lakes Phase I, who recently earned the Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM) designation from the Community Associations Institute (CAI).

“Howard has worked hard to obtain the highest achievement in community association management”

“Howard has worked hard to obtain the highest achievement in community association management,” said Jeff Ulm, ASF President and CEO. “We are proud of his relentless dedication to continuing education and professional development.”

The PCAM designation is the highest professional recognition available nationwide to managers who specialize in community association management. Earning the PCAM designation is recommended for experienced managers who want to demonstrate advanced skills and knowledge, and who wish to be recognized among the best and most experienced managers in the nation.

To earn the PCAM designation, a community manager must have at least five years direct community association management experience, successfully pass their CMCA (Certified Manager of Community Associations) examination, pass six related courses through CAI and complete an extensive case study, among numerous other items.

Carter is a graduate of the University of Guyana and was previously a general manager for a luxury hi-rise condominium community before joining ASF. Sunrise Lakes Phase I is an active adult community consisting of 1,132 units.

With his PCAM now obtained, Carter would like to achieve the large scale community association designation. This specialist designation is designed to allow PCAM members to further specialize within their profession. Additionally, ASF can now boast a total of four employees who have earned the PCAM designation.
