The challenge is unprecedented, but our mission is unchanged: We offer you useful information in our characteristic clear, plain English that's easy for you to adopt in your association.
As always, when it comes to issues of legal compliance for condos and HOAs, it is important to remember that each state has its own rules, and you should consult with an attorney or other professional as to the appropriate steps for your specific situation.
It's also a good idea to stay in close contact with state and local public health authorities as you plan and execute your response to the novel coronavirus.
Our goal for this report, as for all HOAleader.com information products, is to help make your association a better-run organization and help make you a better leader for your community. I am confident that you will find concrete ideas you can put to work in your condo or homeowners association during this stressful, high-stakes situation.
Best regards,
Matt Humphrey
