GET
READY FOR A FUN DAY!

While
an education requirement is not mandatory for condo and HOA
board members, I wish it were.
The more educated Board members are about the legal
requirements of running their community, the less likely it is
that the association will have costly disputes with the owners
whether it be in mediation, arbitration, a court of law or
responding to complaints by the Department of Business and
Professional Regulation.
I
have been teaching a Board Certification Course now for a few
years, and I consider it an honor and a privilege that
approximately 7,500 of you have participated in the course.
In all candor, some people that attend the course believe
that I shouldn’t take questions from the audience and should
solely teach the topics. Respectfully,
I have to disagree. For
many of the participants, this may be their first and only time
to ask questions of an attorney that they otherwise wouldn’t
be able to afford. Sure,
if you are on the Board, you may have access to the
association’s attorney, but suppose you aren’t?
Many other participants believe that they learn a lot
from the questions asked by the audience as well.
In any event, on the days I teach…..the bottom line is
that if you cared enough to take a few hours out of your
valuable time to spend it with me and my staff, the least I can
do is answer your questions.
Last
year, our staff came up with a great idea.
Let’s teach our Board Certification Seminar in the
morning, followed by a live on the air production of our popular
Condo Craze and HOAs radio show and top if off with courses all
afternoon taught by all of the show’s fantastic sponsors.
And while we’re at it….. let’s serve a buffet
breakfast and lunch as well.
And…..let’s do it at a fun and exciting venue, The
Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in
Hollywood
. And let’s
make sure all of the courses provide continuing education
credits for managers. And……LET’S
MAKE IT ALL FREE!
For
those that attended last year, I’m sure you remember the event
fondly. We
absolutely packed the place.
This year we’re doing it again!
On May 18th, 2014 starting at 8:00 a.m. at
The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, please attend our second
annual Condo Craze Day of Education and Live Radio Show.
Remember, within 90 days of getting elected or appointed
to your Board, you must get certified, or you are off the Board.
One way to get certified, is by taking our Board
Certification Course and spending a wonderful fun-filled and
