In this week's tip, we can practically feel the hurt feelings of an HOAleader.com reader in the question they posted on HOAleader.com's discussion board.

state-approved condominium and HOA board certification courses, and Elizabeth White, senior counsel at the law firm of Sands Anderson PC in Williamsburg, Va., where she formed and continues to help lead the firm's national community association industry team—discuss why they think they're seeing this generational friction flare up more frequently.
