John,
Please review the forums
posting rules.
I'm always glad to hear when someone wants to get involved with their Association.
Perhaps the following resources can help:
The Board Member Tool Kit
A GUIDE FOR COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION VOLUNTEER LEADERS from CAI
Best Practices Reports from the Foundation for Community Association Research
Community Associations Resources - AZ page From the Community Associations Network
Subject: Reserve Studies/Funds 101 thread on this forum
Beginner's Guide to HOA Boards of Directors Duties and Responsibilities from The Educational Community for Homeowners (a California based organization - keep that in mind when they refer to statutes)
Remember, if it starts to give you a headache, you can always get a margaritta from the Gulch (they have the best in Prescott - or used to).
Hope this helps,
Tim
