Congratulations!

You’ve been elected as a member of your community association’s board of directors. Now what? Serving

as a member of an association’s board of directors puts you in a powerful seat while also conferring a great deal of shared responsibility. Don’t let this scare you! With some preparation and teamwork your term as a member of the board will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

UNDERSTANDING HOW A BOARD OPERATES & YOUR ROLE ON IT Community association boards of directors are comprised of owner members of the community, each with a unique perspective, working toward a common goal. Communities are best served when their elected leaders have a firm understanding of the roles and responsibilities they have undertaken, and how said parties best work together.
