We live in a condominium, which means we also belong to a homeowners’ association (HOA). Which means there is an annual meeting where the HOA reports on what it’s done the past twelve months.
As a rule, these meetings are dry and end with disgruntled residents whining about some obscure issue. More often that not, it’s an issue they don’t want to help solve. They just want to complain.
Let it be known that the board of an HOA is a volunteer position, one that opens the board members to complaints and grumbles with no remuneration. And with a lot of expected tolerance.
Our annual meeting was held a couple days ago, and I acknowledge how skillfully it was handled. There were the usual reports from the various officers, and at the end there was little groaning and grumbling from the assembled homeowners.
I think this shows how well our board has communicated over the past twelve months. This isn’t an earth-shattering moment. But then again it is.
