The Story of CACM, Our Hosts, and What to Expect

Who is CACM, what do we do and why are we launching a podcast? Our first episode gives you a glimpse of what our purpose is: to elevate the community association management industry by providing resources, education and certification to HOA managers in California and beyond.

Learn about our host, CEO and industry veteran Tom Freeley, and what he will cover in future episodes including the reality of homeowners’ association management and what a community manager actually does every day. Plus, Tom’s story of how he and his wife volunteered for a gangster rap video, inadvertently. Also meet co-host Alia Saouli and her past journey in the industry as well as her gift of impersonation.
