Emaar's Community Management Department liaises with community members, and the new certification will enable us to further raise the professional status of our community association management in line with the Dubai Strata Law."

Mr Dawn M. Bauman, CAE, Executive Director NBC-CAM, USA, said: "CMCA is the only national certification in the US for community association managers, and Emaar is the first property developer from the Middle East region to have their managers earn it. This will further enhance the level of confidence of Emaar's customers on the company's breadth of community management knowledge. NBC-CAM is proud to support Emaar's initiatives towards becoming one of the most valuable lifestyle developers in the world."

Mr D'Mello added: "The CMCA programme is a great learning experience that helps property developers to gain internationally acceptable standards of knowledge and skill in community management, and raise the professional status.
