Executive Session: When, Why, and How HOA Boards Should Meet Behind Closed Doors


An Exclusive HOAleader.com Webinar 
With Practical Tips for Condo and HOA Boards


Thursday, August 24, 2017—TOMORROW! LAST CHANCE!

It's your fiduciary duty as a board member to keep confidential HOA matters confidential, and that's pretty serious business.


Executive sessions are an important tool to help you accomplish that goal. However, many board members are confused about when, why, and how to meet in executive session. At the same time, some homeowners accuse boards of using this type of meeting as a way to improperly retreat behind closed doors to shield their decisions from routine scrutiny.


Register now and mark your calendar for our next in-depth webinar on August 24, where you'll get definitive answers on executive session from two recognized community association experts. One is a 25-year veteran of association management, and another is a lawyer who leads her firm's community association practice area.


You'll get:
  • A definition of exactly what executive session is—and isn't
  • Info on how state laws govern this practice and the general ways state laws differ
  • Guidance on when you can meet in executive session and when it's likely improper
  • The formal steps you need to take to meet in executive session
  • Tips on how to record what's taken place in executive session, including how much of that record you can reveal to owners in your regular minutes
  • How to explain to owners why the board needs to meet in "secret"
  • The most common mistakes boards make when using executive session—and how to steer clear of trouble

How Do Webinars Work?

A webinar is remarkably cost-effective and convenient. You participate from your office, using a regular telephone and a computer with an Internet connection. You have no travel costs and no out-of-office time.


Plus, for one low price, you can get as many people on your condo or HOA board to participate as you can fit around a speakerphone and a computer screen. Because the conference is live, you can ask the speakers questions - either on the phone or via the webinar interface.


You will receive access instructions via e-mail several days before the event. You don't need any additional materials before the webinar starts. Your conference materials will be available for you to view, print, and download when you log in to participate in the event.
