## What do you think? Question:

Would someone please explain the difference between a board of directors and a board of trustees? I spoke to a detective about our HOA and some of the things that are going on here and he asked me, "what about the board of trustees?" I actually never realized there was a difference but he explained that everyone should have a board of trustees to make sure the board of directors are functioning in an honest manner and went on to say that the board of directors if not honest could do anything they want and no one is there to check on them. Can anyone explain this to me. Thank you
