HOA Presidents, Directors, Leaders: Case Studies in Expertly Handling Those Tense Real-Life Situations You Face All Too Often Thursday, November 21,
2024
2-3 p.m. Eastern An Exclusive HOAleader.com Webinar with Practical Tips for Condo and HOA Boards |
Thank you for being an HOA leader. Whether you’re on your condo or HOA’s board of directors, whether you’re also serving as president or a committee chair, your work is critical to keeping your community strong, your property values high, and your residents happy. But we know you face difficult decisions and can be put on the spot, sometimes angrily. You often face puzzling—and concerning—situations involving other board members. How do you speak up with confidence and in a way that will keep tensions at a minimum? And how should you respond if you’re stopped on the street and
asked why assessments are going up again?! Maybe you’re asked at a meeting why you’re spending money to convert the tennis courts to pickleball courts but not to buy new pool furniture. Maybe you’re asked what the board’s doing about the owners with that dog on Main Street that keeps barking 24/7—that they’ve filed five complaints about. We’ve got you covered. Join us for a November 21 webinar to hear two experienced community association lawyers walk you through how to respond to the most common types of tense conversations you’ll face. They’ll offer best practices for responding to these sticky situations and complaints based on real-life examples they’ve heard about and experienced with their clients: - An owner asks: Why are assessments going up again?! Can’t we just cut the budget
for…?
- Your board is troubled by your president’s actions. Your board president is, by default, the liaison to communicate with all association vendors. Recently, she has been taking it upon herself to direct certain vendors, including your attorney, about certain projects. Although the board has generally
discussed some of these items, decisions are being made when the president provides direction to these vendors.
- An owner asks: Why am I being forced to pay a special assessment to fix the balconies when I don’t have a balcony?
- Your board is discussing a very divisive matter. One or several board members say: ‘I’m going to abstain from this vote.’
- An owner asks: Why am I being singled out for violations
when I have pictures of other violations all over the place??
- A controversial new tree removal project was approved by the board, and many homeowners are unhappy, even though the decision falls within the board’s authority. The very social and well-liked board secretary is speaking to homeowners outside
of meetings and in some cases agrees with the views of the homeowners and takes their side.
- Your attorney tells your board that an owner has agreed to pay assessments that have been delayed for years—but they’re demanding that you as a board waive legal fees and collection costs.
- An owner says: "I’ve submitted four complaints against my neighbor. What are you doing about that?"
In just 60 minutes, you’ll get actual dialogue that and tips for remaining calm,
strong, and helpful as you lead your community. Register now for this informative event for community association board members. |
