## What do you think? Question:

As a Secretary of a Board of a small condo association, I have this question: I will not renew as Secretary because it's way too much work. We are self-managed. We don't seem to have anyone wanting to take on this assignment. There are 18 occupied and 4 unsold units. We have a President and a Treasurer. We all live in NH. What happens if no-one steps forward to fill this position? I can think of these possibilities: 1. We hire a secretary (question is this legal?) 2. We join a management organization, which would lighten the load on everybody but increase the condo fees. Might make the secretary's job more do-able. We are operating on a shoe-string budget that is why I am writing to you - asking an attorney would cost too much money. Any advise, pointers, references you could give would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Cornelia
