ACTHA focuses on community associations throughout Illinois.  However, our depth of knowledge, resources, and educational seminars are geographically limitless.  For more than 25 years, we have helped our members solve day-to-day challenges and capitalize on longer-term opportunities.

Most of all, we take a personal approach—to education, networking and leadership development. We retain a lobbyist in Springfield to advocate on behalf of our member associations. Read More...
