David Graf, president of CAI’s College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL) Board of Governors, has practiced community association law exclusively since 2001. In this time, he has represented a wide range of communities throughout Colorado. Much of his practice involves interpreting and amending governing documents, advising associations on the corporate aspects of running a common interest community, and enforcing the terms of governing documents through court action. He has attended countless difficult and contentious board and member meetings on behalf of associations. David is one of the most sought-after community association industry trainers and speakers in the U.S. He is a CAI faculty member and travels around the country to facilitate multiday corporate trainings for professional community managers. In 2015, he was named CAI’s National Educator of the Year. David is a double-certified life and mindset coach, holds the Certified Professional Coach designation, and is an Energy Leadership Index-Master Practitioner.
