As a homeowner, you
have a big investment in your neighborhood. In addition to your own dwelling
unit, your Association may have common amenities, such as a clubhouse, pool,
sidewalks, roads, and more. How do you make sure that your Association is
properly maintained and cared for? One way is to volunteer with your
homeowner’s Association as a committee or board member.
Protecting your own
investment is just one reason to serve as a volunteer for your Association,
though. Read a list of 10 important reasons to serve on an Association
board.
1.
Protect Your Property - One of the top priorities of all
board members should be to protect the value of all homes in the community.
This is not a self-serving act; it is an obligation to all members of the
Association. Being involved on the board puts you in a better position to
make and implement rules that directly affect property value, especially if
they require decisions about the Association’s budget or routine maintenance.
