We've had two board members announce their resignation at the end of the year this year, so are looking for two replacement board members to fill their spots.
How best do we find replacement board members? We sent out a request for new board members to join the board along with the assessments coupon for next year, and heard crickets in response. I have e-mailed the people I know of who might make good community leaders, and they have declined. We will try e-mail blasts next.
Wanted to find out how other boards have been successful in recruiting new board members?
As President, I'm sorta feeling guilty about having two board members step down after one year. Makes me a feel a bit like I didn't run the board to the best liking of the other board members. But I know that being on the board is not for everyone and that is just life. Whether right or wrong, my personal goal of being on the board is to make our community a better place, and that is what drives my HOA participation. I am not driven to make our board a fun and enjoyable thing for other board members.
