Generally, the more engaged owners who are involved in board meetings, the more 'action' takes place. Associations are multi-million dollar businesses. Owners are investors in this business, which also happens to be their home(s).

A solid leader directs the business of the association with vision, economical choices, and with full responsibility for the preservation, maintenance and security of the community's assets and its residents.

This means that regular board meetings address timely matters that are scheduled, expected and discussed openly.

Board meetings with ample notice to directors and owners with agenda items included in the notice offer a solid basis for a successful meeting.

Conducting the meeting using Roberts Rules of Order can also structure participation effectively. This includes opening a visible discussion among directors once a motion is made. Motions, explanatory bases of the discussion and votes are documented in meeting minutes, and represent the history of the association. They become part of the cache of 'governing documents'.

Under US Federal Sunshine Laws, open board meetings are required. This means that any owner is entitled to inspect business communication, business decision making and so forth, that addresses assets that represent the owner's investment.

Open board meetings and transparency of action by all directors are the best elements for a successful association, including the conduct of its meetings.

Of course, there will be unhappy owners and potentially unhappy directors. Savvy leaders understand and can spot the difference between 'high-school drama' behaviour and 'passionate activist' behaviour. As well a savvy director can be objective and effective in handling any type of behaviour.

Bottom line: successful meetings benefit the association, not one individual or group of individuals.

Should you buy a condo?

In a coop, you buy shares in the entire building and then receive a proprietary lease that allows you to inhabit your apartment. A coop board has ultimate power and can determine whether or not you make any improvements to your unit, what you may keep on your terrace (if applicable), and all other communal matters including maintenance and assessments. In many coop you may not sublet or have pets. It is a strange form of "ownership." The coop board must approve any sales or purchases and can deny a proposed purchase without having to ever disclose any reasons for that declination. In the purchase of a condo the purchaser owns the specific unit outright, pays a common charge for such things as gardening, elevators, etc. Condo owners pay their own taxes and a free to buy and sell without a board's appr5oval. Where both forms of ownership exist, generally speaking condos cost more money to purchase at the outset than coops. Condo owners also have more freedom and may sublet if they wish to. Coop ownership exists in very few states including New York & Florida.
