Dear Quorum,

I’m a new board member in a small condo association, and I’m struggling to understand our financials and budget. The treasurer uses a lot of jargon, and I don’t want to seem uninformed, but I also want to be a responsible board member. Any tips for getting more confident with HOA finances?

Sincerely, the New Guy​​​​

Dear Quorum,

I'm a community manager working with a board that’s eager to implement green initiatives like solar panels and EV charging stations, but our governing documents are outdated and don’t address these issues at all. How do I guide them through modernizing the community’s policies?

Sincerely, Going Green​​​​

Dear Quorum,

Our board struggles with getting enough participation—whether it's volunteers for committees or residents attending meetings. We’ve tried flyers, emails, and even community events, but engagement is still low. What has worked in your communities to get more residents involved?

Sincerely, MW​​​​
