Just How Important Is It That You Attend A Board
Meeting?
If
you've never attended a Board of Directors
meeting then you are not taking advantage of
your right to observe and participate in the
decision-making process that protects, preserves
and enhances your community's assets and,
ultimately, your property values.
If
you really understood what kind of business is
conducted at a Board meeting, and the important
role that you, as a homeowner, play in making
those decisions, then you just might change your
mind and chose to attend a meeting. Most of the
business decisions made at a board meeting have
a direct impact on the property values of our
community. Decisions regarding association
maintenance items are the most common.
Some decisions have an indirect effect, such as
decisions regarding rules and regulations and
financial operations. But whether they affect
property values directly or indirectly, they all
have some impact on the Homeowners Open Forum,
where homeowners (like you!) can address the
Board with your ideas, comments and/or
suggestions pertaining to our community. During
the Homeowners Open Forum, homeowners are
permitted to address the Board for a limited
time period.
An
important point to remember is that although
important issues may be brought to the Board’s
attention during Open Forum, don't expect the
Board to act on these issues at this time. Many
issues are turned over to management for
research and to determine the options available
for dealing with the issues. The more prepared
the Board is before making a decision, the
better the decision will be.
Isn't it time you recognized how important it is
too?
It’s important to recognize that all of these
projects are coordinated by volunteer board
members and fellow homeowners who care about our
community – that’s how homeowner associations
work - so we always appreciate the positive
feedback received by so many of you as we work
to make Coral Trace a wonderful place to live.
Together with everyone’s support, we can create
a safe, attractive and harmonious community
based on caring, respect and civility for all!
Please mark your calendar to attend the next
monthly board meeting on
February 18, 2019
@
7:00 pm in the clubhouse.
We hope to see YOU there!
Your Coral Trace HOA Board of Directors |
