THIS IS WHY BOARD CERTIFICATION IS SO IMPORTANT!

By Darlys Walker

Published July 15, 2015

 

As Eric noted in Monday’s blog, the Florida statute governing Condominium Associations and Homeowner Associations is ever changing. While most of us in the industry agree that the changes are often beneficial to the Banks or the Developers, it is paramount in order to be an effective Board Member you stay aware of these changes. I, for one, would like to see Board Members required to attend a state approved Board certification class and there after a continuing education class to remain updated on changes in legislation.

  

CAM’s are required to be licensed to pass a course, pass a test, and to take continuing education. But CAM’s work at the direction of the Board of Directors so it seems to reason they should be held to the same standard.
