Legislation at all levels of government has a direct impact on community associations. The Community Associations Institute (CAI) actively educates legislators on these vital self-governing entities through its state and national Legislative Action Committees (LACs).
Members of the CAI Tennessee LAC recently joined over 200 other LAC members in Washington, D.C., for the 2025 CAI Congressional Advocacy Summit.
These community association industry leaders held impactful meetings with 82 representatives and 64 senators. Their mission was to discuss critical policy issues affecting the community association industry, including the professionals who work within it and the residents who call these communities home.
Jaye Kloss, Ghertner & Company’s Director of Social Media and Marketing, has chaired the CAI TN LAC for four years. Kloss and committee members, HOA attorney Scott Weiss, and former Ghertner & Company community board member Linda Southergill. met with staff for Tennessee Congressman Scott Desjarlais and Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn to discuss issues impacting community associations across the state.
