I posted valuable information from HOA-USA. It was talking about all board members should have an orientation that would help them be better board members. Yet, this becomes a locked subject? Needs to go behind the Shield of Controversail where no one can read it?
A poster asked what if no one wants to do all that board stuff. Well, it use to be hard to get members to committ to a three year term. Well, untill the golf course debacle, and since then it has been no problem getting someone to run for some reason.
Before that, there was a nomination committee that actually did some work. They actually went around and talked to members about doing the job. They worked until they got the required members to put on the ballot and they always got the required number to run. Anyone can run for the board, but the nominating committee was "nominating" a member that they had talked to, knew that member had the time to do the position and would uphold our governing documents.
This poster seems to forget that most all the HOA's in this area have a professional management company handling most everything. Is it too much to ask a board to know what the governing documents say or what state law says. If they don't understand something, just ask the property manager. That is why a good property manager is needed. They can lead a board down the wrong path if they don't know the HOA's documents or state law.
