While most owners take pride in their homes and will do anything
to protect them, many homeowners struggle to see the bigger
picture of living in a managed association. You can help change this
by educating homeowners on the benefits of living in a community
association and the importance of being engaged. Once homeowners
fully understand the impact an association can have on their property
values, they're much more likely to become more active in protecting
their investment.
New Residents
Not all new community members understand how the board of
directors or their HOA operates. Hold orientations for new residents
to help them get to know their neighbors and understand the
community. The more people know, the more likely they'll be
to volunteer.
Existing Residents
Consider holding quarterly informational meetings for existing
homeowners in addition to regular meetings. These meetings
will allow homeowners to interact with their board members and
community manager and learn about volunteer opportunities.
