Aaron Acker is excited about his new role as leader of Colorado’s brand new HOA Information and Resource Center.
It’s his job to register HOAs to determine exactly how many homeowners associations exist in the state and how many people live under their rule.
Education is a big part of his duties, as well as logging complaints about abusive HOA boards and property managers.
Another big part of his job, as directed by the 2010 General Assembly, is to compile all this information and report his findings back to lawmakers.
Good thing Acker is a mountain climber because he’s facing a tall challenge.
I suspect trying to get a handle on HOAs will be akin to herding cats.
Personally, I’d recommend he invest in an electric cattle prod.
Acker is the scheduled to speak at a noon luncheon on Tuesday, Feb. 15, as a guest of the Southern Colorado Chapter of the Community Association Institute.
The luncheon is open to the public. It costs $25 for CAI members and $40 for non-members. Registration begins at 11 a.m. at the Colorado Springs Marriott Hotel, 5580 Tech Center Drive.

Here’s Acker’s bio ,provided by the CAI:
Aaron Acker was born in Montana and raised in Pennsylvania. Aaron is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law. He is a licensed attorney in both Colorado (2008) and Pennsylvania (2010).
Aaron began working for the State of Colorado in 2007, in the Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Registrations. He worked in the Expedited Settlement Program, where he sought to settle, on an efficient basis, disciplinary cases before state licensing boards. In that role, he communicated with licensees, their attorneys, licensing wards and the State Attorney General.
After his initial role in the Division of Real Estate, Aaron practiced law in Fort Collins. As an attorney in private practice, he worked in civil litigation, criminal law, probate and appeals.
In 2009, Aaron rejoined the state as a settlement and enforcement specialist in the Division of Real Estate. In this role, he conducted settlement negotiations on professional disciplinary matters with licensees and their attorney.
When Aaron isn’t performing his duties as HOA Information and Resource Officer, he can be found enjoying many of the activities that Colorado offers including fly fishing, mountain climbing and skiing. During football season, though, he stays true to his roots and cheers for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Penn State Nittany Lions.
