About this listen

Election season is beginning in all of our condos and HOAs. Now is the time that most of your associations are sending out their first notices of the annual meeting and people are returning a notice that says they want to run for a seat on the Board of Directors.

Each year, without fail, I get a complaint from someone that says a particular unit owner should not be allowed to run for a seat on the board because they only live in the condominium or HOA half the year. I tell them time and again that as long as they otherwise meet the criteria (no prior felony conviction where civil rights have not been restored for at least five years or being delinquent in assessments) the snowbird has the right to run. It gets a lot of people mad. They think that someone who lives in the community half the year, cannot possibly be a good board member because they cannot physically attend a board meeting. With the invention of ZOOM, physical presence at the board meeting clearly isn’t necessary.

And then there’s the next person who quite possibly may be able to run for the Board. Hold on to your hat now, what you hear in this episode might surprise you.
