• What are some common misconceptions people have about serving on co-op/condo boards–both for better, and for worse?
• What kinds of things does a new board member need to know upon being elected to help run their building or association?
• How can sitting and/or past board members assist new board members in understanding their responsibilities, and bring them up to speed on projects, ongoing challenges, and other building-related issues?
• What about property managers? What's their role in getting new board members oriented and up-to-speed?
• And what about new board members themselves – how can they take initiative to get informed about how their building community works and how they can best carry out their duties?
• Do you have any specific examples about how different building communities handle board orientation – staggered terms, member manuals, work sessions, etc?
Thanks! Danielle
