Letting personal agendas get in the
way of community agendas.
We polled more than 1,000 of our community managers and one of the recurring
board mistakes mentioned was board members using their board position to
carry out personal agendas. This includes hiring friends as vendors, making
decisions that only benefit their home or their friends' homes, and taking
feedback personally.
"A community association is a corporation and it's designed to function as a
business. It's important to keep the association's — not your own — goals in
mind. Diversity of thought is a positive addition to any association board, so
separate yourself from any potential conflict of interest and listen to your fellow
elected board members."
