What You Need to Know
as a Board Member
As a board member, you're responsible for managing the community's finances and will spend a fair
amount of time projecting and monitoring the financial condition of the organization. While this can be
an intimidating part of the role, the good news is that you don't need to have a financial background
to be effective in budgeting and financial planning for your association. It's simply a matter of knowing
what information is most important for you to review and what resources are available.

stability for their organization. With our 41+ years of service to various homeowners' associations (HOAs)
