Advocacy

Advocating for Wisconsin Community Associations

CAI Wisconsin is committed to advocating for the interests of community associations, homeowners, volunteer leaders, community managers, and business partners throughout our state.

Working alongside Community Associations Institute (CAI) and Wisconsin’s Legislative Action Committee (LAC), we monitor legislation and public policy that may impact community associations, educate lawmakers on issues affecting our industry, and help ensure the voices of Wisconsin community associations are represented at the State Capitol.

CAI’s advocacy efforts are member-driven and supported at the local, state, and federal levels. Through legislative tracking, public policy resources, grassroots advocacy, and direct engagement with lawmakers, CAI works to promote effective community association governance and policies that support the millions of Americans who live and work in community associations.

Wisconsin Legislative Action Committee

The Wisconsin Legislative Action Committee (LAC) is made up of volunteer homeowner leaders, community managers, attorneys, and business partners who work together to monitor legislative activity and advocate on issues affecting Wisconsin community associations.

The LAC works closely with CAI’s Government & Public Affairs team and our professional lobbyist to stay informed about proposed legislation, educate policymakers, and advocate on behalf of Wisconsin’s community association industry.

Our Lobbyist: Kathi Kilgore

CAI Wisconsin is proud to work with Kathi Kilgore, Director of Government Affairs with Ruder Ware Strategies, to strengthen our presence at the Wisconsin State Capitol.

She works alongside the Wisconsin LAC to monitor proposed legislation, build relationships with policymakers, provide insight into Wisconsin’s legislative process, and help communicate how proposed policies may affect community associations throughout the state.
