I am the president for our HOA, over the years we have had some board members that failed to communicate or participate on the board. Thankfully those years are behind us, however as of late we have been having problems getting residents interested in being on the board. We only have two positions filled, president and vice president, thankfully we have a management company that helps with a lot of the administrative and legal issues. The problem that I am having is that the vice president has stepped back, he has complained about people not following the CC&R's and no longer wants to be part of the community. He told me about a week ago that he was going to resign, however that still has not happened. I am the only one that is interested in making the community a better place to live, however I cannot do it along as we have 202 homes in the community.

I need some advice. I cannot force him to resign, however there are decisions and issues that need his attention if he is going to be on the board.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so what did you do?

I have a meeting with the management team tomorrow to discuss what I can do.

Thank you!

What do your bylaws say about vacancies? You and the VP need to FILL those slots until you can strengthen the Board.

Find people to get involved. You need to ask some people who have some work experience and are now maybe retired.

Why is there so much apathy in your community? Do you think that people are afraid? Don't know what they are supposed to do?

Tell people to get involved; the consequences of the HOA just floundering, getting weaker are not nice. You cannot let your housing complex go. There are obligations that you have!! Worst case scenario: a judge will come in and appoint a lawyer to run your HOA.
