“Well . .
“Please read your board book before the meeting. • Try to get answers to your questions prior to the meeting
do not always need to agree, that’s okay.

Engage your manager if you need help or would like —Margo Crummack, PCAM
to attend CAI-OC’s CLTP series, I recommend becoming familiar with the Association’s governing documents (CC&R’s, Bylaws and Rules). But my #1 tip for new board members would be to listen and learn…especially be impressed with how well you speak, your fellow board members and homeowners will be more impressed with how well you listen. Remember, great leaders are great listeners. Talk less and listen more.”

. besides making immediate plans
“Now that you are elected, you probably have a lot of ideas and spend the next two to three board meetings observing and learning.
• Read the board packet and backup materials, review the prior few years’ board meeting minutes, the reserve study,
• Schedule time to meet with or talk to your community manager prior to the meeting. We are here to help. Doing this will help you better understand the Association you are now representing, and you will now be prepared to present those great ideas!”
Lake Forest Community Association —Julie Carter, CMCA, AMS
“I would recommend that they seek board member education through the CAI-OC We have such a great educational foundation for board members, whether they are new or seasoned, and the best experts in our industry are teaching these fundamental development to share best practices and where board members gather together and can meet one another and share “war” stories – this is where they learn that they are not alone, especially if they are struggling
ProActive Professional Management —Shanne Ho, PCAM
“Make sure that you have a copy of the Association’s governing documents and take some time to read through them. If something seems unclear, ask your Community manager to clarify so that you’re well informed.”
Optimum Professional Property Management, Inc. (ACMF) —Jessica Flicker, CMCA, AMS
“My advice to any potential candidate or aspiring new board member would be to attend at least one to two board meetings prior to the election to gain a feel for the how the meetings are conducted and what the current and pending issues are for the community. Not only will this allow them to better see what they are signing up for and adjust any expectations accordingly, but it also allows for a more seamless transition of board members.”
