Orduno will be participating in a panel discussion on Reliving the 70s? Inflation and Interest Rates – Impacts on Community Associations. He will be joined by Reserve Specialist Kevin Giles and Gary Woodlief with North State Bank.

In Orduno’s session, the panelists will discuss how recent inflation spikes have affected community association operating budgets, navigating the budget process with the current inflation rates, capital repair loan terms, the effect on assumed interest in reserve studies, and how inflation has impacted homeowners.

Rhodes will also participate in a panel discussion on Rental Realities Causing Worry? Strategies for Documents, Enforcement, & Communication to Lighten the Load alongside Attorney Chris Gelwicks. This session will focus on corporate rentals, Airbnbs, VRBOs, and the litigation and laws that may come as these trends grow in popularity. They’ll also review some best practices managers can use when faced with questions on rentals in their communities.

In addition to participating in panel discussions, CAMS will also have a booth at the expo.
