Associa Hosts Fourth COVID-19 Legal Webinar to Guide Board Members
Dallas, TX—June 4, 2020— Associa, the industry’s largest community management company, recently hosted COVID-19: Considerations for Community Association Boards & Councils Part IV—Amenities, the fourth in a series of educational webinars aimed at helping community boards navigate the current challenges facing their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As projections for the spread of COVID-19 begin to show signs of peaking, communities across North America are faced with questions on how and when to relax stay-at-home orders and reopen businesses. At the same time, residents are beginning to pressure their boards to reopen association amenities that were closed during the pandemic. To assist boards in addressing important questions related to amenities and evaluating what considerations and plans need to be made for their future accessibility, Associa invited leading attorneys from key markets to discuss these emerging issues.
Andrew Fortin, Associa’s senior vice president of external affairs, moderated as panelists addressed issues regarding association amenities, including facing resident pressures, loosening of state and provincial restrictions, board liability, resident lawsuits, enforcement considerations, and potential pitfalls of reopening too quickly.
Panelists included:
- Sandra L. Gottlieb, senior managing partner, SwedelsonGottlieb, California
- Melissa Garcia, shareholder, Altitude Law, Colorado
- Donna DiMaggio Berger, shareholder, Becker, Florida
“Throughout the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have offered industry expertise and guidance to board members as they made critical decisions for their communities,” stated Andrew Fortin, Associa senior vice president of external affairs. “Now, as we see things beginning to open up, we will continue to help association boards make informed choices that will be the most safe and beneficial for their communities.”
