Community Governance begins where The Essentials of Community Association Management (M-100) left off. It helps you master one of the most important aspects of successful association management - governance. In this course on the legal basis of community rules, policies, and procedures, you'll get a better grasp of board and management responsibilities. You'll learn how to steer clear of problems and give your board and owners the support and advice they need. Using your own community documents, you will learn how to spot potential problems, how to revise policies and procedures to comply with current laws, and how to recommend management practices. This course provides an understanding of a community association as a legal entity and clarifies the corporate, contractual, and ethical basis for a manager's role in community governance. You'll learn:
- When to use an attorney
- What the governing documents require
- When a document amendment may be necessary
- Statutes and case law that affect community management
- How to distinguish the corporate roles of community association boards, committees, and managers
- How the management contract affects and protects the manager and the association
- How to tell when you're legally acting as an agent
- Which situations could lead to conflict of interest or unethical decisions
- How to avoid common problems when developing and enforcing rules
- How to revise existing rules and develop new ones
- How to enforce architectural rules
This hands-on course gives you immediate answers to some of the most troubling problems in management. No matter how long you've been a community manager, there are always new strategies for handling difficult situations. This course gives you proven ways to avoid legal problems and helps you get better cooperation from owners.
