The officer roles of an HOA board include the president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary. Management Company The company hired to fulfill duties that board members can't carry out. Oftentimes, it supports maintenance, accounting, and other efforts. Community Association Manager The community manager is the face of the management company. They're responsible for the overall operations of the association and advising the board. Property Manager Property managers oversee all physical properties. They also work with tenants and owners to ensure the property is well-maintained.
