Does your association fall into any of these categories? If so, you might be scaring off potential candidates to fill your board seats.
Filling open HOA board seats is a vexing and discouraging problem for some associations. However, there may be reasons why neighbors are not interested in serving. Could any of the below characteristics describe your association? Volunteer managers. Do directors spend many hours each week on HOA business, inspecting the property, observing vendors and otherwise dealing with the HOA’s daily matters? The well-intentioned sacrifice of so much time and energy may deter others from board service.
Directors should be continually trained on these important protections. Acting like the boss — when you're not. A president acting as the HOA’s “boss” discourages volunteers by not recognizing that the board actually is the boss. Who wants to join a board where their contribution seems unnecessary and their views unimportant? If the president plays the dictator, regularly squelching differing viewpoints, don’t be surprised at the short list of applicants for board seats.
