The workshop was intended to educate the 30 attendees on the principles of goal-setting and offered a platform for them to discuss, collaborate, and map out strategies to achieve their goals. Goals can be established for both personal and organizational development and are important because they provide direction, focus, and a sense of purpose. Homeowner associations (HOAs) help individuals, associations, and businesses measure progress, stay motivated, and make decisions that align with their desired outcomes.


Two widely recognized methods for setting effective goals are the FAST and SMART frameworks.


SMART Goals


The SMART framework is one of the most popular methods for goal setting. It ensures that goals are clear and attainable by focusing on fi ve key criteria:


S (Specifi c): Goals should be clear and specifi c, answering the who, what, where, when, and why.


M (Measurable): Goals should have clear criteria to track progress and measure the outcome.


A (Achievable): Goals should be realistic and attainable, considering available resources and constraints.


R (Relevant): Goals should align with broader business objectives or personal aspirations.


T (Time-bound): Goals should have a deadline or time frame to create urgency and prompt action.


The following is an example of a SMART goal tailored for an HOA board of directors:
