In this week's tip, we help out an HOAleader.com reader who asks what new board members can do when they're not getting the access to association records and information they need to fulfill their fiduciary duties.

at Schoenberg Finkel Beederman Bell Glazer in Chicago, who represents about 500 associations—discuss if there's ever a good reason for some board members not to be privy to association information or records.
