LCCI Designation
The LCCI designation is open to any CCI member who provides goods and/or services, through annual employment time and volunteer time, to or within the condominium/strata/copropriété industry. The designation is open to any particular profession or trade.
LCCI Application Process
Step 1 – Apply:
- Gather the information for the registration form (eligibility criteria):
A. An individual or professional member, or an active employee or partner of a business partner member of CCI in good standing;
B. Minimum of three (3) years as an individual or professional member, or as an employee or partner of a business partner member of CCI immediately prior to the date of application;
C. Minimum of three (3) years’ service to the condominium industry immediately prior to the date of application. This criterion will be satisfied where an individual shows that they have provided goods and/or services, through annual employment time and volunteer time to or within the condominium industry;
D. Provide at least two (2) letters of reference/endorsement from a CCI member having at least five (5) years of membership in CCI; and
E. Provide an executed declaration that the candidate will comply with the CCI Code of Ethics.
F. Details of participation in CCI at either the Chapter or National level (including roles on committees and conference/seminar attendance) in the three (3) years immediately preceding the date of new designation application.
Note that a candidate must demonstrate compliance with Mandatory Criteria (A) to (F) above and any one (1) of two (2) remaining Additional Criteria (G) or (H):
Additional Criteria:
G. Proof of public speaking or presentation experience at two (2) events on condominium related or CCI topics in the three (3) years immediately preceding the date of the new designation application;
H. At least two (2) written articles on condominium related topics as published in a newsletter, paper or other publication in the three years immediately preceding the date of new designation application; - Submit your application on-line with payment of the non-refundable $150 + HST fee
- Your Chapter will review the application and make recommendations to National,
- The National Executive will review the Chapter recommendation and either approve or follow up to advise why it was not approved
Step 2 – Upon Approval of Your Application:
- If National has approved your application, you will be notified and will be able to begin using your new designation once CCI National has formally notified you of your success.
Maintaining the Designation
- Successful new designation members will be required to attest annually, upon renewal of the LCCI, that they still meet the criteria for the LCCI designation. There could be random audits to ensure compliance.
Failure to maintain current applicable membership in CCI and/or failure to maintain the designation requirements will result in the loss of the LCCI designation. Per section 15 of the CCI-N Bylaws, should an individual's membership be revoked, they will no longer meet the criteria to maintain their LCCI designation and the individual will be removed from the list of LCCI recipients maintained by the Institute, and the individual must cease using the recognition letters LCCI.
Holders of the LCCI designation who retire in good standing from professional membership or from their business partner member may continue to use the recognition letters LCCI(R) if they remain Members of the Institute.
The designation as an LCCI is personal to the Member to whom it is granted and is not transferable.
A Member who was formerly granted the designation of ACCI and continues to hold that designation is deemed to have been granted the designation of LCCI without further application, and may use either of both designations.
