Maybe you have heard of the Association President, but what does he/she do? Some of the monthly duties of the President include:
- Working closely with the board, manager, and residents to establish the overall goals of the association.
- Ensuring that the association operates according to the association governing documents.
- Presiding at board and other meetings, prepares meeting agendas, and ensures that valid voting procedures are used.
- Identifying and training potential association leaders.
- Working closely with professional managers and other association professionals to ensure the successful operation of the association.
- Serving as the official spokesperson for the community with Board approval.
Keep in mind that although the President is often assigned more duties than other Board Members, this does not give them any more or less power than the others. Additionally, the responsibility of ensuring good business practices is the responsibility of all Board Members as a whole and should not rest solely on the President.
