Holding TWO President Positions?

I live in a neighborhood that has three separate HOA's. First we have the master Association which has it's own Master declaration . Second is Association " B" which fall under the Master and over Association "C" where I own my home. My question is can the same person hold the position of President in Association "B" and "C" at the same time? I feel that a conflict of interest could be present as the the President of "B" has control of creating and enforcing the CC&R's over "C" where he like wise has control over Association.

many times when I have approached the President of "C" I get a response that either directly or indirectly related to "B" . A specific case involves security of association "C" after several break ins. In a discussion I had with the President ( about C) he made mention that he his problems within association "B", which I at that point wasn't addressing.

has any one know if !. the holding of two President seats is legal? 2. Can a reference on this issue be provided?

A second issue in association "C" was that the Management Company which was a part of a large Management conglomerate was bought out and a second company under that same conglomerate took over? No notice to the Association Owners was provided till after the change had already taken place? No financial audits or reviews took place , basicly only thing that changed were the employees. And the contract that was in effect was just carried over the new company with out and modifications? Shouldn't the Owners have been able at that time to seek out a Management Company ? If not during the change over( cause the same contract was not expired) but when the contract is to expire? Again this goes back to my concern about the same president being in control of the two Associations?

Ask for comments and any reference or document dealing with these two issues.

I see it as the guy having two different jobs.

NPS raised a good point. Many docs do say one must be an owner to be on the BOD. Start looking at your docs for this.

What I am familiar with is a Master Association with sub-associations and the Master Association is made up of the Presidents of the sub-associations thus no one votes for the BOD of the Master Association. The Master elects its own officers (as do most associations) thus the President of the Master Association will also be the President of a sub-association.

HI,
AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES. fIRST LET ME ATTEMPT TO CLARIFY THE "THREE" ASSOCIATIONS. YES I HAVE THREE HOA'S . FIRST IS THE MASTER HOA WHICH HAS A ELECTED BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM THE THOUSANDS OF HOMEOWNERS WHICH LIVE IN " OUR MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY. THEN WE HAVE A SECOND HOA, WHICH HAS IT'S OWN SEPARATE BOD, ELECTED BUY THE OWNERS OF THE HOME WITHIN THE 4 DEVELOPMENTS WHICH COMPRISE THE COMMUNITY WHICH I LIVE. THEN THE THIRD IS THE COMMUNITY MADE UP OF 185 HOMES AND HAS IT'S ELECTED BOD.

THOSE ARE THE THREE SEPARATE HOA'S THAT ALL HAVE A SEPARATE DECLARATION,OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND RESERVATION OF EASEMENTS. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ASKED IF I WAS ON THE BOD OF MY HOA, WELL IN FACT I WAS ON THE BOD FOR EXACTLY 98 DAYS BEFORE I RESIGNED. I WAS THE TREASURER FOR THE HOA AND BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I WORKED ALL OF THOSE 98 DAYS ATTEMPTING TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE FINANCIALS. I DISCOVERED THE BOD PRESIDENT WITH MANAGEMENT'S OK, HAD DECIDED TO RENOVATE $36,000.00 WORTH OF LANDSCAPING THAT THE BUILDER HAD ONLY PLANTED 3 YEARS AGO. IT DIDN'T NEED REPLACEMENT , AND NOT ONLY DID THEY REPLACE THE PLANT LIFE THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED ALL THE STONE, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE SIZE!!! IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH, THEY PAID FOR THIS FROM THE RESERVE FUND, WHICH HAD IT TO BE ATTENDED TO AT THE 8 YEAR POINT.(MEANING IT HAD 5 YEARS OF LIFE LEFT)

ANY WAY,BACK TO THE PRESIDENT OF ONE ASSOCIATION BEING ABLE TO BE A SITTING PRESIDENT ON ANOTHER HOA WHICH FALLS UNDER EACH OTHER. ONE OF YOUR COMMENTS SAID THAT THE OWNERS ELECT THE PRESIDENT, AND THEN HE OR SHE HAS THE CONTROL BASICALLY OF THE HOA.I FEEL THAT HAVING THE SAME PERSON WHICH SITS ON ONE HOA BOD AS PRESIDENT AND THEN ALSO SITS AS PRESIDENT ON A SECOND HOA BOD(WHICH FALLS UNDER THE CC&R'S OF THE FIRST) SEEMS TO ME TO BE A MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTERESTS? I HAVE READ THE ENTIRE CC&R'S FOR ALL THREE HOA'S AND NONE ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF A PERSON SITTING AS ANY POSITION ON MORE THAN ONE BOD. IF ONE LIVES IN THE LOWEST HOA HE THEN IS ELIGIBLE TO BE A BOD OF ANY ONE OF THE THREE !! I FEEL THAT THERE IS A MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR ANY ONE PERSON TO HAVE BASICLY CONTROL OF TWO OR MAYBE EVEN THREE BUDGETS EQUALLING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!

tHAT IS MY QUESTION, AND THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS , I FEEL, IS THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CLAUSE??

ONCE AGAIN , THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INPUT , I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY - REAL ESTATE DIVISION OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSMAN.FOR COMMON-INTEREST COMMUNITIES. JUST NOT SURE IF I'M OPENING A "PANDORA'S BOX"

RICK NEVER SAID WHY I RESIGNED! I BEGAN TO HAVE HEALTH ISSUES WHICH WERE WORSENED BY ALL THE "POOP" I HAD TO DEAL WITH DAILY!!

Is it your belief that a person should not sit on the boards of both association B and C
or that a person should not be prez of both association b and c

While I have never heard of a 3-tier system, I am familiar with several 2-tier systems where the master assn is made up mostly from representatives of the sub-associations. For them, this arrangement works because the people who sit on both boards act as go-betweens who can help both the sub-association and the master association to understand what the other board has to deal and what the expectations are.
