SKILL: NETWORKING
CONNECT WITH NEIGHBORING
HOAS
Networking is a critical skill that can go a long
way for your association. You tap into listening,
speaking, planning, and teamwork skills when
you network with HOA board members from
other communities—all of which can help you
be a better leader for your own.
These relationships may also give you access
to additional resources and help you learn new
ways to approach issues. You may even be
able to jointly host events that create a sense
of camaraderie and encourage collaboration.
Some ways to network with local HOAs include:
• Connecting with other HOA leaders at
industry events, seminars, or workshops.
• Asking for vendor recommendations.
• Reaching out to local HOAs to facilitate
co-hosting events to increase participation.
