6. Ignoring the Advice of Professionals
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."

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 CAM. 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.
