6 Biggest Mistakes Board Members Make
Not delegating properly.
The association board is run by volunteers who are also homeowners in the
community, so it can get a bit complicated when board member duties conflict
with neighborly niceties.
"Addressing issues with homeowners that should be handled by a community
manager often creates anxiety for the board members. Letting professionals
manage the business of the association isn't just a deterrent for hurt feelings,
it's also a great way to avoid a conflict of interest when it comes to money
management in an industry where fraud can occur. Successful boards benefit
from the assurance that comes with delegating financial management, violations
and record-keeping to a proven community association management company.
You avoid conflict with neighbors and all community members don't have to
wonder whether their dues are being handled objectively."
