October 15, 2004 - Lighthouse Point, FL:

TOPS Software announced today that Bruce Gran, Director of Sales, has successfully earned the prestigious PCAM® designation from the Community Associations Institute (CAI). He will receive this honor at the opening ceremonies of the 30th Anniversary National CAI Conference to be held in Washington DC from October 31st to November 1st. The award will be presented by CAI National President-Elect Paul Grucza.

Bruce Gran has worked within the association management industry in a number of different positions for the over 15 years. After co-founding a management company in Florida, and building that company into a successful and ongoing venture, Bruce joined TOPS Software in September of 2000, where he proceeded to consistently perform to a high level of expectation.

Bruce has also been successful in the community association industry. He is an actively serving member of the Board for the Gold Coast chapter of the Community Associations Institute (CAI), serves on several national and local committees and task forces, and is a frequent presenter at CAI national and local functions.

Two years ago, Bruce became a candidate for CAI’s PCAM® (Professional Community Association Manager) designation. The PCAM® is the highest professional recognition available nationwide for the association management industry. In order to become a PCAM, a candidate must first achieve the CMCA® and AMS™ designations, and then undergo a rigorous training program, which includes 6 required courses, participation in CAI activities at both the local and national levels, and completing a case study, which consists of a complete analysis of an association from start to finish, culminating in a thesis level paper.

Bruce joins a small, elite cadre of approximately 1,000 people nationwide who hold the PCAM® designation. Bruce plans to share his knowledge of the industry by volunteering as an instructor for CAI classes at both the local and national levels.
