An Exclusive HOAleader.com Webinar
With Practical Tips for Condo and HOA Boards
|
As an HOA or condo board member, you're faced with privacy issues daily—even ones you may not expect.
Take the area of violations, for example. Let's say an owner is operating a short-term rental against your community's governing documents. The neighbors reported it, and now they want to know what you, the board, is doing about it. What can you say about a violation process that's currently underway? And what can you say after the fact?
Or how about the new board member who says, "We need to post all the names of members who are behind on their assessments on the website—or at least read them out at the next meeting—everyone deserves to know who owes what."
Those are just a few examples of privacy dilemmas that you'll likely face at your community association. There are many, many more, and you can protect your community—and yourself as a board member—only if you can spot them and wisely maneuver through them.
Join us for an informative webinar on August 15 on the most common and challenging privacy challenges condo and HOA board members face. You'll hear two community association lawyers with decades of hands-on experience in advising associations share their best advice on:
- Laws that affect you and your ability to share information you acquire as a board member, along with the most important provisions every board member should know
- A board member's duty of confidentiality
- Can a board member every be held personally liable for disclosing the wrong information?
- What's OK to share about owners' delinquencies and what's best to keep confidential
- How much information you can share when owners make records requests that cover such topics as employee salaries and owners' violations
- Where board members can violate owners' privacy with social media and website posts
- How you can reveal too much information, or ask too many questions, in the context of owners' requests for accommodation
- What's OK to share about a neighbor's violation file, if anything?
- Other common areas in which privacy issues arise and board members can make improper disclosures
- Best practices for assessing potential privacy pitfalls and how to handle them
- And much more!
In just 60 minutes, you'll hear the most important information you need to avoid legal issues arising from the inadvertent or improper release of confidential community association
information. Register now for this informative event for community association board members.
