Book excerpt: The audience for A Framework for HOA Management is any homeowner or resident who is currently on the board of directors of their homeowners association (HOA), is considering joining the board, or just wishes to be better informed on the various issues facing every HOA so that they can ask pertinent questions of the property manager or board members. The text is largely non-technical, and explanations are given where necessary. The goal of A Framework for HOA Management is to provide the reader with the tools needed to effectively manage an HOA, including both guidance on stablishing a sound physical plant and instruction on governance, oversight and planning. By the end of the book, the reader will be able to formulate a credible and efficacious response to any issue confronting their HOA.
