Insurance coverage isn't something to set once and forget. It should be reviewed annually, updated after major repairs or renovations, and checked against governing documents and state law.

In their recent resource, CAI breaks down the key areas every board should evaluate when reviewing or updating its association's coverage: https://hoaresources.caionline.org/community-association-insurance-how-to-evaluate-and-review-coverage/

Regularly review coverage, legal requirements, and responsibilities to help make better community association insurance decisions.

Self-management can appear to be the more cost-effective path for a community, but that assumption often doesn't hold up over time.

There's also a structural risk that's easy to overlook: when board members are also neighbors, decision-making and enforcement can be influenced by personal relationships, creating inconsistency or the perception of favoritism.

A professional manager provides a neutral, experienced point of accountability that helps protect both the community's finances and its governance integrity.

Understanding these risks doesn't mean self-management is never viable, but it does mean boards should weigh the true cost of going it alone.

Rising costs have made annual budgeting a more complex, higher-stakes conversation for community associations.

Without a clear financial picture, communities risk underfunded reserves, deferred repairs, or sudden assessment increases.

CAI shares how boards and managers can shift from reactive budgeting to proactive financial leadership through education, trusted professional guidance, and multiyear forecasting. Read it here: https://hoaresources.caionline.org/navigating-rising-costs-in-hoas/

Consistent rule enforcement starts with a consistent process, not just a fair rule. Before a fine is issued, most governing documents and state laws require a clear notice-and-response sequence, giving the homeowner a chance to correct the issue or contest the violation before penalties escalate.

A well-structured timeline includes an initial notice, a defined compliance window, a documented escalation schedule for repeat violations, and a chance for the homeowner to be heard.

Applying that process consistently across the community, not just when convenient, is what protects the association from disputes and legal exposure.

A community's stability often depends less on defined roles and more on how well the board and manager work together.

Most partnership breakdowns aren't personal, they're structural: unclear boundaries, inconsistent communication, or oversight that drifts into micromanagement.

CAI outlines five practical ways to strengthen this working relationship, from designating a single point of contact to separating policy decisions from day-to-day ex*****on: https://hoaresources.caionline.org/5-ways-to-build-stronger-board-manager-partnerships/

Strong community association board-manager partnerships are built through structure and practice. Here are five principles to follow.
