Here are some things to consider as you contemplate who might make a good Board
member:
• Community association boards consist of officials elected to represent and protect the
best interests of their constituents.
• Community associations are corporate entities whose board members must maintain
the value of a jointly owned asset.
• Community associations are social entities—neighborhoods of people who expect the
board to preserve, if not improve, their quality of life.
Ultimately, the role of the Board is to protect and increase property values. This is
accomplished by operating the association, maintaining the common property, and
enforcing the governing documents.
