Board

Board Of Directors

 

A board of directors is a requirement for a homeowners association to function properly. These elected volunteer officials are responsible for all operations of the association and ensuring the community governing documents are followed and enforced.

 

How Long Does Each Board Member Stay in Office?

 

HOA governing documents will outline specific term limits. It is not uncommon for homeowners associations to elect Board members for two-year terms, but to specify that officers only stay in power for a single year.

 

Thinking About Becoming A Board Member?

 

Sitting on the board of your homeowners association is a rewarding way to get involved in your community, get to know your neighbors, and personally ensure that your property values are preserved and protected–for the immediate future and in the long run. Many residents want to serve on their HOA board but aren’t sure where to start. With our lengthy experience providing HOA management resources for homeowners associations across Georgia, we have discovered that there are certain traits that make for excellent board members. Here’s what to look for when voting for board members or if you’re thinking of serving on your community’s HOA board.

 

A Great HOA Board Member Enjoys Volunteering

 

Every member on the board in an HOA is a volunteer. Therefore, they must have the time, patience and enthusiasm to dedicate themselves to the community, even though they receive no compensation.

 

Be Positive And Optimistic

 

Sitting on the board comes with many challenges. Great HOA board members bring a positive mindset to their role and refuse to get discouraged, even when faced with tough decisions.

 

Be Fair

 

Board members exist to serve their communities and make them a better place for everyone, not to serve their own needs. A great board member understand that the HOA rules must apply to all community members evenly and fairly.

 

Take Your Role Seriously

 

Board members work hand-in-hand with your community's HOA management company. In doing this, they work to protect the value of properties in your community.
