Liability Exposure: Protecting Our Directors and Officers.
It's enough to volunteer endless hours for an often thankless
position when you are serving as a director and/or officer of
a condominium association, but why needlessly expose yourself
to liability when you can take measures to protect yourself?
Become educated on your legal responsibilities and pitfalls
for incurring personal liability, learn what provisions to add
to your documents for good liability protection, and ways to
avoid risks and liabilities.

Robert M. Meisner:
Collecting Assessments in the 21st Century. Condominium
assessments are the lifeblood of the Association. Large
receivables can impede the Co-owners' ability to re-sell and
refinance. How can you improve on the collection of those
assessments, especially in a volatile economy? Become fully
educated on your authority to levy and collect assessments and
understand the applicability of the Federal Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act. Examine the remedies under the
Michigan Condominium Act, learn what you should be doing and
what provisions can be added to your condominium documents to
improve your collection efforts.

M. Katherine Michael:
Good Working Documents: A Healthy Foundation. The
condominium documents are the "laws" and governing tools of
your condominium association. Without good working condominium
documents, there can be ambiguity and confusion and the board
of director's hands are often "tied". Ample legal authority,
consistency within and between documents, and "state of the
art" provisions are vital to a well run condominium
association. Learn the common deficiencies, the necessary
condominium document provisions, how to amend and what
additional supporting documents will help you maximize the
successful operation of your association.
