Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I was recently asked to join our HOA board of my beach home Condo community to fill the unexpired term of a board member who resigned (apparently he was a "no-show" who wasn't pulling his weight). Our board of 5 is a very professional group working with a very good management company that we've had for years. There are some critical issues we are dealing with and the discussions and decisions regarding these have been well researched and appropriate actions taken. Will ALL owners ever be happy with the board's decisions? NEVER. But I do have to say that the majority of our owners are very supportive and do realize that we are all looking out for the best interests of our community and maintaining the great property we have and the value of our homes.
We have been told by several outside parties (real estate, insurance, etc.) that our HOA is one of the most fiscally well managed of any along the Jersey shore. We take that responsibility very seriously, even when tough decisions need to be made. So far, the experience has been good in the short time I've been involved and I will most likely run for the board seat when it comes up in July at our annual meeting.
