ATTEN-TION! What is Board Member Boot Camp?

Board Member Boot Camp is a fun and interactive military-themed Board certification course designed to assist volunteer board members in carrying out the often rigorous duties associated with serving on their board of directors. This popular certification program, brought to you by Becker & Poliakoff, covers a wide range of topics veteran board members and newcomers on the board need to know in order to safely operate and administer their communities within the confines of the common interest ownership statutes and their governing documents.

Board members will learn how to negotiate contracts with vendors, the correct way to conduct meetings, when and how documents and rules should be updated, the essentials of budgeting, reserves and financial statements, safely screening potential new purchasers and renters, how to navigate Fair Housing and other legal landmines, what it means to be a fiduciary and much more!

In military boot camp, soldiers endure a rigorous training program to prepare them for potential battle. In the context of Board Member Boot Camp, our training is meant to help our “soldiers” do battle, when necessary, with large insurance companies, bad contractors and employ best practices to defuse skirmishes with association members.
