Founded in 1990 by Sherri Annoni Lucy, The Management Alternative is the only Modesto-based company specializing in community association management exclusively. Ms. Lucy has over 20 years of experience managing community associations and holds professional designations from both the Community Associations Institute and the California Association of Community Managers, in addition to a Masters in Business Administration degree from California State University, Stanislaus.
The Management Alternative's professional management staff utilizes a team management approach. Each Association is assigned an Association Manager who is that Association's Team Leader and reports directly to the Board of Directors. The other team members are assigned specific duties relating to each Association. Weekly staff meetings are held at which time team members report to the Association Manager on new developments concerning each Association. All team members are required to attend and successfully complete professional courses specifically designed for the community association industry and are encouraged to earn and obtain industry related designations.

One way of thinking about The Management Alternative's role in relation to your Association would be that of a business manager. The typical Association Board of Directors is made up of volunteers who are busy with their own lives and have very little time left over for organizing and operating the Association in accordance with the many state regulations now governing community associations. It is our job to implement policy and business decisions made by the Board of Directors and address the concerns and needs of the Association members. It is our goal with each of our Associations to insure that decisions made by the Board of Directors are carried out in a timely and efficient manner and that member requests are handled on a friendly and prompt basis..
