Don’t Miss Critical Info in HOAleader’s Award-Winning Two-Part Series
=================================================================
In this week’s tip, we admit to patting ourselves on the back—but we’re also providing a service to readers who may have missed really important information.
HOAleader.com has won first place for analytical reporting in the Specialized Information Publishing Association awards for a two-part series warning condo and HOA board members that their manager may be selling their association’s collections records—without the board’s knowledge—a move that could dramatically increase the liability of associations and their board members.
These two articles give community association board members notice that their personal liability may be increasing without them even knowing it’s happening or understanding how serious this increase in their liability is.
The award comes largely from the strong professional relationships HOAleader.com has built with experts in the community association industry over the publication’s 10-year span.
To accomplish this critical and timely reporting, HOAleader.com has for nearly a decade contracted with Gabriella Filisko, a professional writer with 25 years of experience in real estate and business-to-consumer writing skills—who happens to also be a lawyer of nearly 20 years.
This decade-long business relationship has enabled HOAleader.com to cultivate expert sources throughout the country in both the legal and community management field who can spot and explain to readers the issues they’ll face and discuss the best practices for approaching them.
Gabriella interviewed eight of those experts nationwide. This two-part report included all those experts’ advice based on their estimated 75-plus combined years of experience in community association operations.”
One of those experts is lauding HOAleader.com for its ongoing work. “In this era of information overload and even ‘alternate’ facts, it’s critical to have a trustworthy source that gives homeowners, board members, and managers insight into current challenges to community associations,” states Jed L. Frankel, a partner at Eisinger, Brown, Lewis, Frankel & Chaiet PA in Hollywood, Fla., who advises community associations.
The series touched on a contentious topic among community association board members—debt collection. Read about that debate, and find links to both articles, in our new article: https://www.hoaleader.com/members/2579.cfm
