Modifying Your Condo/HOA Governing Documents: When It's Necessary and How to Accomplish It With Less Stress Thursday, October 30, 2025
2-3 p.m. Eastern An Exclusive HOAleader.com Webinar with Practical Tips for Condo and HOA Boards |
If you're like most condo/HOA board members, when you've read your declaration, your bylaws, or some other governing document, you've thought: “Wait, that can't be right.” Perhaps your documents are so out of date they mention things you
legally can't do these days, such as prohibit ownership based on race or ban all signs or flags or satellite dishes. Or perhaps your community has morphed, and you'd like to modify some of the documents to permit owners more latitude or to restrict owners' rights. Parking and rentals are both hot-button issues today, and your documents may need
to be updated to reflect that. Or maybe you need to change your documents to remove provisions you don't enforce and that you and your owners would prefer you not enforce anymore. Whatever the
challenge with your documents, it's important to ensure that any changes you make are done purposefully and properly. Join us for a foundational webinar on October 30 for an A-to-Z guide on what to know if you're considering modifying your governing documents. You'll hear two community association lawyers with extensive
hands-on experience in advising associations share insights on: - How to identify what should be changed in your governing documents and what's probably not ideal but perhaps not critical to change
- Red light, yellow light, and green light provisions that you must change, that you probably should change, and that you can probably live with
- General requirements for changing each of the documents in the hierarchy in governing documents, from your declaration to your bylaws down to your rules
- A step-by-step overview of the process to follow in modifying governing documents, including timelines (spoiler alert: the timeline can be long!)
- Tips for educating your owners on why changes are necessary and getting their buy-in when their approval is required
- Best practices for passing amendments to your governing documents
- Tips to make the entire effort less daunting, time-consuming, and contentious
In just 60 minutes, you'll hear the most important information you need to assess and update your governing documents to make your job and your owners' lives better. Register now for this informative event for community association board members. |
