Although there is a certification program which, upon completion, entitle you to refer to yourself as a "Certified Property Manager, the law does not require you be certified. All you need are some business cards and an association to sign a contract with.
A few CC&Rs require homeowner approval of the management company. For most associations, no homeowner approval is required and the Board is free to hire whoever they want. The right to terminate the contract is typically spelled out in the management agreement. Associations should not sign contracts that do not provide for termination at anytime without cause with no more then 60 days notice.

I was told to review the Davis-Stirling Act, Section 1363, I believe, re management companies.
I've never lived in an association where the bylaws or CC&Rs said the board required formal member approval to change management companies, but nonetheless, each of the three times we did change, we first told the members why the board thought it was necessary - not just as a courtesy but because it always required a slight increase in assessments and we got fewer complaints by explaining "you get what you pay for."
