Homeowners’ associations (HOAs) thrive when their boards lead with integrity, fairness, and accountability. Yet, without clear guidelines, even the best-intentioned board can face conflict, mistrust…| Kuester Management
One of the most important factors in the success of a homeowners association (HOA) is the composition of its board of directors. A well-sized, well-structured community association board helps ensure sound decision-making, fair representation, and legal compliance. But how many HOA board members are required?

As we approach this year’s Academy Awards, I’ve been thinking about the best picture of 1957, director Sidney Lumet’s “12 Angry Men.” If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth watching. It’s a terrific courtroom drama – or, more precisely, a jury room drama, as twelve jurors (this was nearly 70 years ago, so they were...| Alan Cantor Consulting

Leading our largest city-wide event for several years opened the door to serve on another organization’s board young in my career. I am sure the executive director had little interest in the opinions or fiduciary experience of a late 20-something in his first board role. Like many leadership roles, it leads to others.
