Free Homeowner Board Association Training Extended to Condos

The Hillsborough County Office of Neighborhood Relations has extended its first Hillsborough County Homeowners Association Board Training seminars to include Condominium Association Board Members. Condominium Association leaders can still apply through January 16.

The training sessions begin on January 22 and will be held the fourth Thursday of each month through July 23, from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. The workshops will be held on the 26th floor of the County Center, 601 E. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa. Parking will be provided at the Pierce Street Parking Garage.

The interactive training program is designed to demonstrate the responsibilities of being an HOA board member. The goal is to have better informed board members who will bring their specialized knowledge of how to participate in constructive board meetings back to their respective neighborhoods and condominium groups. Successful neighborhoods depend on HOA board members who are knowledgeable leaders.

Both programs will teach issues such as community management; rule-making and enforcement; and financial matters, such as insurance, budgeting, reserves and audits. The condo training will also include reviews of state statutes affecting condominium governing and community rights. The homeowner board training will include collections and declaration of covenants.
