Ed O'Connell Named Fellow of the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL)
Whiteford is very pleased to note that Ed O'Connell, co-chair of our Business Section and Community Associations group, has been named a fellow of the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL). Of the over 4,000 attorneys practicing community association law in the United States, fewer than 175 have been admitted to this prestigious organization. Two other attorneys in the group, Joe Douglass and Drew Terrell, are also CCAL members.
Members of the College are among the most respected community association attorneys in the country. Established in 1993 by the Community Associations Institute (CAI), CCAL’s members are attorneys who have distinguished themselves through contributions to the evolution and practice of community association law. CCAL members are also recognized for committing themselves to high standards of professional and ethical conduct. CCAL provides a forum for the exchange of information among experienced legal professionals working for the advancement of community association governance. Its goals include promoting high standards of professional and ethical responsibility, improving and advancing community association law and practice, and facilitating the development of educational materials and programming pertaining to legal issues.
