Board Checklist<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. Set-up your board of director orientation with Tarley Robinson, PLC<\/a>. \u00a0This service is provided at no charge to our clients. We will send out a an email and letter to schedule an orientation shortly after your board of director elections.\u00a0Email us<\/a> to make sure you are on our mailing list.<\/li>\n
    2. Review your documents with your manager and attorney, or if self-managed, with your board and attorney, to determine whether you are operating in compliance with your documents and whether your documents comply with the law.<\/li>\n
    3. Encourage civility, applaud the good deeds of neighbors and provide solid leadership. \u00a0Remember that you are part of a community.<\/li>\n
    4. Schedule an appointment with your insurance agent to review your current policies. Confirm that your policies comply with any insurance requirements in your documents. Find out if you should change your deductibles.\u00a0 Determine if you are paying the best price.<\/li>\n
    5. Implement your Complaint Policy and Copying Policy. You are required to have them.<\/li>\n
    6. Conduct efficient and effective board meetings. Spend some time working on the processes and procedures for your board meetings. Seek input from your board members, manager and attorney.<\/li>\n
    7. Follow the legislation affecting community associations. The Virginia Legislative Action Committee<\/a> will be working hard to review proposed legislation and determine its impact on community associations. Updates will be posted at http:\/\/www.cai-valac.org\/<\/a><\/li>\n
    8. Review your Reserve Study<\/a>. Virginia law request annual review of your Reserve Study. If you do not have a Reserve Study to review, resolve to obtain one. It is the law.<\/li>\n
    9. Conduct a risk assessment relative to safety and the use of your Common Areas or Common Elements. Follow-up with appropriate action, be it implementing safety rules, repairing an unsafe area or item, or posting a warning sign.<\/li>\n
    10. Attend seminars provided by CAI<\/a>. The Central Virginia Chapter Community Association Day<\/a>, for example,\u00a0is a daylong event that includes some great educational opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
      Being a Board Member for your HOA or Condo Association is a big undertaking, but there are resources to help you understand your responsibilities and become a more responsive director. Resolve to take advantage of these resources and help your HOA Board become more effective.<\/div>\n
