Eclipse Community Management

Just back from the 2026 CAI National Conference in Fort Lauderdale, and what a week.
🎙️ The session. Co-presented "Who's Flying the Plane? Guiding Community Associations Through Crisis, Catastrophe, and Recovery" alongside Suzie Popielec on Friday morning. Strong audience, sharp questions, and confirmation that this material is needed across our industry.
🌟 The recognition. Standing in front of the exhibit at the front of the expo hall, seeing the Eclipse Community Management name and logo on screen as part of their partnership story, was a confirmation that years of disciplined investment in technology and partnerships are paying off. Eclipse was recognized as a partner moving this industry forward, on the largest stage our profession has.
💡 The technology. , First Citizens, and Western Alliance held the three biggest spots at the front of the expo hall, and the buzz around their booths reflected something real. Major Vantaca product announcements including HOAi Fleet, Vantaca Vendor, and an enhanced Vantaca Home are going to reshape how the industry operates.
🤝 The people. Got to meet directly with the Vantaca engineers building the improvements our team has been asking for. That kind of direct partnership is what separates the firms investing in this industry from the ones just operating in it.
Eclipse came back energized, with new ideas, and with renewed confidence that the way we operate is the right way to operate.

Most HOA and condo boards assume their insurance policies are compliant — until a claim, audit, lender review, or legal issue says otherwise.

At Eclipse Community Management, we recently completed a deep dive into the insurance requirements impacting community associations in both Ohio and Kentucky, including:
• Ohio Revised Code Chapters 5311 & 5312
• Kentucky KRS 381 condominium and planned community statutes
• Fidelity/crime coverage requirements
• D&O insurance obligations
• Common coverage gaps we are actively finding during reviews
• Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac insurance considerations

Insurance compliance is not just a renewal exercise — it is a critical part of protecting your board, your owners, and your association’s financial stability. If your association has not had a formal insurance compliance review recently, now is the time. Read the full article here:

Ice dams can turn a normal winter thaw into ceiling stains, wet insulation, and expensive repairs. They form when snow melts on a warmer part of the roof, refreezes at the colder eaves, and traps water that can back up under shingles.

We put together a quick, homeowner-friendly guide on:
✅ what ice dams are
✅ why they form
✅ warning signs to watch for
✅ what to do safely (and what not to do)
✅ the best ways to prevent them long-term
