Executive Profiles
Stephen Bupp, PCAM
President
Steve Bupp founded CVI (Condominium Venture, Inc.) in 1975. A graduate of the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree, Steve worked with Carl M. Freeman Associates (a builder/developer most known for the Sea Colony, Delaware community) before deciding to start his own community management firm.
Steve earned the Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM) designation in 1981, only the second person out of the more than 1,600 managers nationwide currently holding this designation. He also holds the Association Manager Specialist (AMS) designation and the Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) designation and has been a Maryland Real Estate Broker since 1980. In addition, Steve is proud that CVI holds the Accredited Association Management Company (AAMC) designation.
Demonstrating his commitment to the community association industry, Steve served as National Treasurer, then President-Elect, then President of Community Associations Institute (CAI) from 1997 to 2000, as well as six years as a member of the CAI National Board of Trustees. Steve holds the following National CAI Awards: Distinguished Service Award (the highest award given by CAI), Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Award, Meritorious Service Award, and Education Award.
Steve has been a seminar speaker at many National CAI conferences and local CAI events. He has also been a National Instructor in the Professional Management Development Program since 1983. He currently teaches the PCAM Case Study class, which is the final step for a manager to earn the PCAM designation. While a national officer of CAI, Steve was invited to testify on Capitol Hill on behalf of the community association industry regarding an insurance bill.
Drawing from his knowledge and industry experience, he co-authored the CAI M-100 Course, Principles of Association Management; this course is the first course managers take in the Professional Management Development Program. In addition, Steve is a frequent author of articles for CAI's Common Ground magazine and the Washington Metro Chapter Community Associations Institute (WMCCAI) Quorum magazine as well as the author of the CAI GAP Report #9 - "Bidding and Specifications."
In 1987 Steve founded and ran Venture Building, a home builder that built custom single-family homes in Howard County Maryland through 1989. Venture Building was awarded a Maryland Home Builders Association award for the construction of one of its homes.
