Board Member Course
Associa's Board Orientation course will help Associa board members understand the legal and fiduciary requirements of being a board member and learn some tips for dealing with specific circumstances that commonly are faced by a board of directors of a community association.
Beginning with definitions and background information, we then cover governing documents and the organizational structure of the community association. After exploring the responsibilities and relationships of the board, the homeowner, and the manager, it delves into four essential topics for effective control and management: Board Governance, Risk Management, Financial Management, and Facilities Management.
The final portion of the course focuses on specific entities related to your community. It will help board members understand your relationship to your management company, to Associa, and to developers, and the importance of accessing state-specific requirements that may impact your association.
We hope that the information in this course will benefit you greatly. It should make your experience as a board member more gratifying and help enhance the efficiency and accomplishments of your board of directors.
