So You Want to Be a Board Member?

Here's what it takes to do the best job for your community.

Leadership

Being a board member means you will be responsible for the approval (or disapproval) of proposals for the Toscana community. Examples of decisions you will be making with your fellow board members include: vendor contracts, policies, annual budgets and assessments, enhancement projects, and more. Your neighbors will look to you as an example of community leadership and innovative ideas.

Confidentiality

Perhaps one of the most important tasks board members are given is keeping certain items confidential. These items can include anything from individual resident account statuses, to legal proceedings, to future planning goals, and everything in between.

Knowledge

While CCMC does provide training to board members on essential topics, it is a good idea to come into the position with at least a little knowledge on your community. Take time to talk with your neighbors, discover the different common areas your homeowner's association manages, and maybe brush up on your contract-reading and finance skills! A great way to get involved before taking your seat on the board is to join a committee!

Caring

Board members interact a lot with their neighbors, both in person and on paper, one-on-one and as a whole. It is important to enter into this role looking to further build a sense of community at Toscana.
