Beginning in the first few months of 2020, community associations found it necessary to conduct business in unfamiliar new ways—virtual meetings being chief among them.
At that time, most community associations did not have a plan in place to conduct virtual meetings, but they adapted quickly and successfully. Many community association leaders embraced the technology shift and began discussing whether their annual membership meeting and elections should be conducted virtually as well.
Not all associations have had an easy time. Virtual meetings and electronic voting were uncharted territory for many community association boards; some wondered if the technology would be easy for all residents to understand and use. Others expressed concerns about privacy and security. Others are still navigating the change and looking for solutions that serve their homeowners best. They’re asking: Moving forward, what approach should we take to governing and managing, and do our current methods meet the needs and expectations of today’s—and tomorrow’s—homeowners?
