Homeowners associations (HOAs) manage and maintain common areas, amenities and finances in a neighborhood or community. The Board of Directors is a group of homeowner volunteers who oversee these tasks and make important decisions on behalf of the community. Ghertner & Company partners with Boards in the communities we manage to advise on HOA issues, give day-to-day support, and provide training for Board members to learn more about the best ways to help their communities.
If you are a homeowner, joining the HOA Board can be a great way to get involved in your community. Some reasons to serve on your HOA’s Board include the following:
Have a say in decision-making: As a member of the Board, you will have a voice in important decisions that affect your community. You can help prioritize projects, allocate funds, and ensure that the community is being run in a way that benefits all residents.
Build relationships: Joining the Board is a great way to meet your neighbors and build relationships within your community. You can work closely with other Board members and residents who attend HOA meetings and events.
Gain valuable experience: Serving on the Board can provide valuable experience in leadership, decision-making, and communication. These skills can be useful in other areas of your personal and professional life.
Improve your community: By joining the Board, you can help improve your community in tangible ways. You can work to ensure that common areas are well-maintained, amenities are updated, and rules are enforced fairly.
Protect your investment: By participating in the Board, you can help protect your investment in your home. A well-managed HOA can help maintain (or increase) property values, attract new residents, and create a desirable living environment.
Joining your HOA Board is a rewarding experience that allows you to positively impact your community. If you are interested in getting involved, consider attending HOA meetings and speaking with current Board members to learn more about the responsibilities and opportunities for serving on the Board. You can also contact your Ghertner & Company Community Association Manager to learn more.
