In our latest blog post, “HOA Board Meeting Tips,” we share practical advice to help board members run efficient, productive, and organized meetings for a more effective community. An HOA board meeting is an essential aspect of making decisions that benefit the community, but they can sometimes feel disorganized if you’re not equipped with the correct guidance and support to feel confident in leading. Partnering with your community management team and a little preparation can go a long way. Here are five tips to keep your meetings productive and efficient:
- Set a Clear Agenda: Make an agenda available ahead of time so everyone knows what will be discussed. Stick to the agenda during the meeting to stay on track.
- Use Technology: Leverage tools like video conferencing, portals, and community alerts to streamline communication and help make board meetings accessible to everyone.
- Encourage Participation: Foster open communication by allowing board members and owners to share input, respectfully and when appropriate.
- Keep Accurate Records: Your Board Meeting Minutes should include the appropriate information for proper filing in the association’s official records. Your community management team can offer guidance for keeping the association’s records up-to-par.
- Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help: Your community management team can help prepare the agenda, provide expert guidance, and keep discussions aligned with HOA goals and regulations. Your Management Company should also be able to provide Board Training Sessions to help boost your comfort in your leadership position.
