Dealing with Conflict

Interpersonal conflict is an inevitable issue that every condo board and manager will eventually need to deal with. 

Whether the conflict is the result of legitimate grievances or not, disputes between residents, residents and the board, or residents and management must be addressed promptly and intentionally in order to maintain a functioning, livable community for everyone.

How to run better meetings

HOA board meetings are often viewed as boring, long winded, and divisive at times. This can mean that little gets accomplished despite the best efforts of the board and management.  

When a meeting is managed effectively, however, success — in the form of a focused, purposeful gathering that yields concrete results in a reasonable amount of time — is absolutely possible.

Fire Prevention

During the winter months, the risk of residential fires increases, and your condo/HOA is not immune.

The increase is often attributed to additional electricity used for things like holiday décor, Christmas trees, or electric space heaters. Residents and owners must be cautious when they are lighting a fire or their favorite holiday-scented candle in order to prevent fires.

As the new year approaches, it's important for association boards and community association professionals to be aware of new laws. This year, there are a few updates - mainly to Section 22.1 of the Illinois Condominium Property Act about resale disclosures.

Proxies 101

While the bulk of association governance is handled by the Board of Directors, there are topics that require the vote of the membership as a whole. In this case, proxies are a tool commonly used to allow members who cannot be physically present to cast their vote. 

So, what is a proxy? A proxy is a document that authorizes another person to act on your behalf. Generally speaking, a proxy allows a designated individual, who is physically present at the meeting, to vote on your behalf in whatever manner they see fit.
