CM On Demand
Effect July 1, new requirements for board certifications were enacted into law for all community associations. Currently, the State is working fervently to determine the new content, procedures, and applications for providers to approve new classes. Once those procedures and decisions have been made, we will create new power points and film the new classes.
Once the classes are available, we will post the new links on Facebook. Posts about a single new law, case law, or important articles will now be posted on Facebook with links to our website.
Please follow us on Facebook for updates on class availability and other important information for your community association. If you have any questions, please contact our Director of Public Relations, Arlene Ring at (407) 875-4429 (Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 am to 2 pm) or via email at pr@clayton-mcculloh.com. It will be her pleasure to assist you.
Thank you for selecting Clayton & McCulloh as your educational source.
Welcome to CM On Demand – an exciting service exclusive to Clayton & McCulloh, the firm that Embraces Community! CM On Demand was created for those individuals who are unable to attend our live seminars/webinars, but still would like to view the event. This page features our current classes available On Demand that you can view at any time – 24/7/365!
As part of our Embracing Community commitment, we are raising money for private, non-profit 501(3) rescues by charging a small fee to view our CM On Demand Classes if you are not currently an active client. The fees associated with these classes will be donated to a private non-profit rescue at the end of the year. Many people are not aware that the rescue incurs medical expenses for each pet such as:
- Vaccinations
- Spaying/neutering
- Teeth cleaning; and
- Other medical services performed by a veterinarian.
CM is not keeping any of the money raised. All fees go to the rescues!
While the vets are very generous in providing a 10% discount, the rescue still must pick up the tab for the balance of the services. Sometimes, depending on the severity of the pet’s health, the medical fees may be quite high. Yet the rescue only charges a small adoption fee that does not begin to cover the pet’s medical bills so that they may find a forever home quickly.
Is your Association an active client? Then there is no fee! (unless you request a Certificate of Attendance for elective classes). However, CM and the rescues would be most appreciative if you made a voluntary donation.
Our CM On Demand Classes are divided into 3 categories:
Elective Classes. Just as in college, some classes are not mandatory. While our Elective Classes are not required for Board or Committee Members, it is highly recommended that every serving in a position – whether on the Board of Directors or a Committee – enroll in these classes to help you in your role in the community.
Short Takes and Short Takes Plus. Short Takes are brand new in 2022! Short Takes are 10 minutes or less and Short Takes Plus 10 – 20 minutes “videos.” Both series will address late breaking topics, how to perform certain tasks within the community, legal information, and practical information. These Short Takes will be hosted by one of our attorneys, our Director of Public Relations, or a guest community expert. We hope to add two classes each month. These classes are free regardless of client status.
Listed below are the fees for our classes that will be donated to a private pet rescue. CM does not keep any of these fees.

As a special thank you to those attending our classes, we will place your Survey into our monthly drawing for a gift card. If you take multiple classes, each submitted survey will be entered. As a special perk for our clients, if you donate to the pet drive, we will enter each Survey twice. Winners will be announced in our CM Update digital newsletter.
As a side note unless your Association’s Governing Documents expressly state that educational classes are not an allowable expenditure, you may be able to be reimbursed by your Association for these classes.
To make a reservation for any of these classes, please use this link.
We reserve the right to deny admittance to any individual or Association.

Bad Board Members: What ‘Ya Gonna Do When They Come for You?

Our attorney will delve into these issues offering possible legal solutions while our Director of Public Relations (an experienced board member) will offer practical solutions and insight into the situations.
