The St. Johns River Water Management District is offering three-course options for community association managers (CAM) to earn free continuing education credits. The District’s certified training course credits on water quality and water conservation best practices for communities meet the requirements for CAM licensure.
The District’s state-certified continuing education program offers community association managers training on a variety of water resource protection topics, including stormwater management, water-conserving landscapes, smart irrigation, and more.
A new one-hour virtual course in conservation easements has been added to the series, in which community association managers can learn why communities have conservation easements, homeowners’ association responsibilities, how to find out easement boundaries, and what activities are allowed by permit on easements.
