We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all associations and commercial members who have renewed their membership in ACTHA for 2020. We acknowledge your "vote of confidence" and we will not let you down!

So now that 2020 is well under way, it's time to refocus on our personal and community association vision for the future. Sure, new year's resolutions are popular, but we all know that concept is not usually long-lasting and most likely not related to community association living. Visual, or, if you will, visional acuity is defined as, "sharpness or keenness; the ability to see, hear or understand something easily". In other words, it is the quality and effectiveness of your ability to "see" the details as well as the big picture. Whether you are a homeowner, Board member, or commercial provider, these skills are essential to creating or maintaining the balance in satisfaction and successful coexistence of all homeowners in a community association. We have developed a prescription to sharpen your community association acuity.

ACTHA would like to announce "Visual Acuity" our annual Spring Conference/Tradeshow to be held at Drury Lane Conference Center in Oak Brook, IL. on April 4, 2020 from 7:45 AM-3:00 PM. All association homeowners and professionals involved with community associations are invited to attend. Topics will include an overview of information and resources provided to homeowners free of charge through the IDFPR, (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation), and a focus on recent legislation that has been introduced and/or passed in the Illinois General Assembly that will impact community associations. Sessions will highlight clarification of insurance requirements, development and enforcement of effective rules, best practices for managing day to day operations, and outline other fiduciary responsibilities. We have expanded the "Ask an Attorney " session this year to enable all with questions and concerns to interact with a panel of attorneys who specialize in community association law. We have a dynamic variety of presenters. Throughout the day, opportunities to network with homeowners, Board members and professionals who provide services to community associations will also be provided for all in attendance.

Please join us for the day on April 4, 2020. We look forward to meeting you and enjoying an informative and productive experience at Drury Lane. Registration is now available at www.actha.org
