Protect your investment. By volunteering in your community association, you can maintain property values and the quality of living firsthand.
Continue your education. Learning will always be part of the human experience. When you get involved in your HOA, you can take a sneak peek behind the scenes to see how everything is done.
Enhance your resume. Volunteering for your community sharpens your current skills and develops new ones. It also builds character. All of these are vital to progressing your career, no matter what field you’re in.
Express your creativity. Whether it’s designing newsletters or coming up with creative solutions, there’s always a way you can flex your creativity when you volunteer for your HOA.
Socialize. Serving gets you out of your house and gives you an opportunity to talk to your neighbors. You can even meet new people!
Fix problems. If you have a knack for problem-solving, then you should definitely serve in your community. Instead of being the complainer, wouldn’t it be nicer to be part of the solution?
Gain recognition. Perhaps you won’t admit it, but earning praise and appreciation from fellow community members is the cherry on top of a fulfilling sundae.
Our present board volunteers and serves for only one of the above reasons: to "maintain property values and the quality of living" with the hope of having the support of all members of our association.
The board of directors of every homeowners association plays a crucial role in HOA management. If you’re not part of the board, you might not see all of their important duties. However, as a member of the community, you will definitely see the results of their work.
All actions and decisions that the board takes are in service of two key goals:
1) To protect and increase the HOA’s property values, and
2) To foster a sense of community. All board members are volunteers, which means that they are not compensated financially. They are simply homeowners who care about what happens in their community and are willing to dedicate their time to help ensure that the HOA is the best possible place to live.
Protect and Increase Property Values
Your home is probably among your most valuable – and personal assets. At minimum, the board is working to protect the value of these important assets and their decisions will help increase the value of the homes in your association over time.
In order to protect and increase property values, HOA board of directors perform these key functions:
Overseeing maintenance of common areas – This involves making sure that all common areas are well-maintained and responsibly funded. One of the board’s key HOA management responsibilities is to carry out their fiduciary duty to your community, making careful financial decisions that ensure that your community has enough funding in cash and reserves to keep common areas looking great.
Enforcement of your association’s rules & regulations – Your HOA's rules & regulations are in place to ensure that the community looks appealing and welcoming to all current and prospective residents. Guidelines regarding parking, lawncare, trash collection, paint color, and architectural improvements are all in place to create an orderly community that bolsters everyone’s equity, including yours.
Bringing the community vision to life – Board members take proactive steps to ensure that the decisions they make today will support your community’s overall vision down the line. That means making smart, fiscally responsible choices and correctly prioritizing action to ensure that your community still looks and feels great for the foreseeable future and beyond.
Foster a Sense of Community - One of the unique benefits of living in a homeowners association is that there is an organizational body in place (the HOA board) that takes the time to foster a stronger sense of community between you and your neighbors. Whether yours is a small or sprawling association, a strong board can provide opportunities for you to get closer to your neighbors and become more involved in your community.
