6. IGNORING
THE ADVICE OF
PROFESSIONALS
Boards will often make the mistake of
not seeking or respecting the advice of
professional partners and service providers,
like the association accountant, lawyer,
or community manager. It's essential to
understand that these professionals are there
to provide reliable information and insights.
Remaining open to their guidance will ensure
you're equipped to make sound decisions.
Don't rely on your own expertise or lack
thereof. The best board members realize
they aren't the experts and that they must
rely on the opinions of outside professionals
to help guide them in their decision-making
processes."
