Focused Course Offerings

Empowering Confident, Informed Leadership

Does your Board of Directors need more substantive education on specific legal issues?

We offer a diverse set of advanced training programs on the issues that may be disproportionally impacting your community. Our course offerings include:

ADUs, Solar and EVCS ... Oh My!

Not all governing document restrictions are created equal. This program will substantially review three important “protected uses” that exist in your community, how to navigate the application process, and how to best protect your community from looking like a jungle.

Contracts A-Z

This program identifies the preliminary steps a board must take before even looking within the four corners of the contract, the provisions no one understands but are always included, and why boards must shift certain risk back onto the other contracting party. We will also discuss the necessary insurance provisions, the importance of an appropriate warranty, and the pros and cons of prevailing party attorney fees.

From Discipline to Enforcement ... Seeing the Forest Through the Trees.

This program addresses the important steps that you must take to educate owners, provide the appropriate level of due process, fairly impose discipline, and bring owners into compliance. We also discuss why the success of any enforcement action depends on what you do during the disciplinary process. Do not make enemies of your neighbors!

Open Meeting Act Compliance.

The Open Meeting Act is the most straightforward section of the Davis-Stirling Act, and yet it is the part most violated by boards of directors. If your directors are discussing and deliberating on association matters outside of a meeting, your directors are placing the association at risk. Learn how to reduce violations, increase transparency, foster community within your association, and eliminate risk. Open Meeting Act violations can be extraordinarily expensive; don't fall into the non-compliance trap.

Pit Bulls & Parolees: You Too Can Have a Successful Election!

Are elections getting you down? This program will review the Davis-Stirling basics, identify conflicts with your governing documents, discuss recent legislation that will help your community, pinpoint the importance of a professional inspector of election, provide the steps for ensuring a compliant election, and review how to handle election challenges.

Understanding Infrastructure Legislation (SB326).

Has your condominium project completed the legally- required exterior elevated element inspections? This program provides an in depth look at the statutory requirements, the process, and how you can satisfy your fiduciary duties without proceeding through a massive reconstruction project.
