Thank you for taking on a leadership role in your condo or HOA. It's a big job that has the potential to truly benefit your community. And it carries a lot of responsibilities—including legal
responsibilities.
The biggest of these is to fulfill the fiduciary duties you're required to meet as you carry out your role as president, secretary, treasurer, a vice president, or a director at large.
Why is this so important?
Because you're at personal financial risk—we'll say that again to be sure it sinks in: your personal wealth, that you've worked hard to build, is at stake—if you ignore them. Fulfill them, and that personal risk evaporates. It's that simple.
