After a Board of Directors has
been elected and is in place,
the Board of Directors then es-
tablishes the committee struc-
ture for the association. The
documents may dictate which
committees should be in place
and the Board may want to es-
tablish other committees for
other problems and situations
which may be anticipated
throughout the coming year.
The formation of, and the ap-
pointment to, the various com-
mittees is very important in that
some committees will be doing
work on behalf of the Board of
Directors and they may have
the authority to act on the asso-
ciation’s behalf.
Since, the Hurricane Season of
2004, Board Members, Staff
and Property Managers are in
need of more help to cope with
the resultant problems. As their
positions are becoming more
and more demanding, it is in-
creasingly more difficult to keep
up with the demands that are
thrust upon them. Without hir-
ing more staff, the easiest way
may have authority to act on the
association’s behalf.
Association committees can be
advisory or vested with authority
to carry out their findings or rec-
ommendations. T
