RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., Feb. 17, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Associa Desert Resort Management's Fifth Annual HOA Education Symposium took place on February 2 to a packed house of close to 300 association board members and industry professionals. The theme was 'Shaping Communities of the Future' and the event at the Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa helped attendees better understand the plans and visions essential to creating sustainable communities.

"We were thrilled to see so many in attendance who genuinely wanted to know more about HOAs and Associa Desert Resort Management's vision for the future of the homeowners' association industry." says Associa Desert Resort Management President Mark Dodge. "So many HOAs just fly by the seat of their pants never truly understanding that a plan and a vision are essential to carrying a community forward. That's why this symposium is so important."

The symposium incorporated lively discussions facilitated by a panel of experts featuring solutions for HOA community leaders and volunteers. In addition to the title sponsor, International Paving Services, Inc., the day featured more than 80 sponsors and included a mini trade show with more than 40 booth exhibitors.
