Thank you to Community Associations Institute - WA State Chapter for hosting a valuable, VIRTUAL Law Day. A quick recap is included for readers, but as always, we encourage engaged board members to turn to WSCAI for continued, appropriate, and important education opportunities.

Educated Boards are the Best Boards!

Ponderosa is proud to be CLI Certified: Independently Owned HOA Management Company.

The CLI Certified; Independently Owned HOA Management Company badge is a third-party ownership certification credential issued by CAM Leadership Institute (CLI).

It confirms independent ownership at a point in time using standardized disclosure and public record review.

The designation confirms what many companies already know: independent leadership drives local decision-making, long-term relationships, and client-first priorities.

Educated Boards are the best boards!!
The team at Ponderosa is thrilled to partner with local, Spokane Valley attorney Annika Bair of WHC Attorneys on this timely education seminar.
The event is FREE and open to all association volunteers - even if we aren't your HOA's management partner.

Did you know that the Ponderosa is the official city tree of Spokane? So you could say we think trees are a big deal.

Get outside, hug a tree, and celebrate Arbor Day!

Arbor Day is Friday, April 24, 2026! Learn about Arbor Day and its founder, Julius Sterling Morton, and find activities to do.

We’re excited to introduce something new for our community partners…

Ponderosa HOA Advisory Services 🌲

Not every association needs full-service management—but many boards still need experienced guidance from time to time. That’s exactly why we created this service.

Ponderosa HOA Advisory Services is designed specifically for self-managed and small associations that want support with:
• Running more effective meetings
• Navigating complex projects
• Understanding board roles and responsibilities
• Making confident, informed decisions
• Knowing when (and when not) to involve an attorney

Think of it as practical, on-demand support for your board—without the cost or commitment of full management.

We start with a simple $500 retainer, and you only pay for services as you need them. No long-term contracts—just real help when it matters most.

If your board has ever said, “We’re not sure what to do here…”—this service is for you.

Feel free to reach out to learn more or schedule a conversation. We’re here to help your community succeed.
