SKILL: TEAMWORK
PARTNER WITH PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS
A well-run community association doesn't come easy, and the responsibility can be
a lot for a board of directors to handle. That's why many boards look to professional
advisors to help them successfully fulfill their roles, complete requirements, and assist
with duties. Experienced professional advisors and service providers can ensure your
community is protected and prepared for the future, so it's always a good idea to seek
and respect their advice.
Your board of directors may want to consider partnerships with:
• Community management company
• Community association lawyer
• HOA insurance agent
• Certified public accountant (CPA)
• Reserve Specialist (RS)
• Service providers
While the board is the ultimate decision-maker for the community, sharing ideas,
concerns, and issues will strengthen your negotiation and adaptability skills. Plus,
being open to feedback and guidance from professional advisors improves your ability
to work as a team. Associations that create and sustain these long-term partnerships
receive many additional benefits, including reduced costs, increased efficiency, and
stable and reliable operations.
