The Homeowner Association Leader Strong leadership is an essential component of every successful homeowner association. Strong leaders should have skills, knowledge, and experience plus the abilities to motivate and command. A person's suitability should include understanding how the association works and familiarity with significant historical events.
Newcomers frequently make superb volunteers.
However, there are some situations which call for someone possessing a historical perspective. For example, if the association is in the midst of sensitive litigation or a new management contract, a newcomer might detract by insisting on covering old ground again. If not, investigate the sudden interest. Leaders should be able to express ideas clearly and persuasively. A candidate should not have conflicting personal and professional commitments.
