HOAs and Owner Involvement: An Oxymoron? (part 3 of 3)
Guest blog by Deborah Goonan
Exploring Solutions and Empowering HOA Residents
CAI proposes the following in Community Association Living:
“… the board has an obligation to listen to the owners’ concerns and to take those concerns into consideration in making its decisions. Formal means for obtaining owner input include the:
- Resident/owner forum at board meetings
- Participation of owners on committees
- Annual membership meeting
Other means of owner input include owner surveys and letters and suggestions from owners. Just as a board has the responsibility to encourage owner input via these means, owners have the responsibility to use them to make their views known.”
