The Importance of Updating the Governing Documents of Community Associations | Recorded February 27, 2026

*Read Before Viewing* | This recorded video WILL NOT satisfy Florida state certification requirements for Board Members, NOR will this recorded version offer CEUs for CAMS or Board Members. It is for informational purposes only and is not to be considered as legal advice. Should you have any questions, contact your association counsel.

Statutory changes and case law decisions greatly impact the interpretation, enforceability and legal effect of the governing documents of a community association. Antiquated documents can create liability exposure to the association and its members. Old provisions may hinder association operations, leaving community associations without the rights and remedies it needs to property govern the community. Learn about common pitfalls in older governing documents, specific provisions that are no longer legally enforceable and why updates are so crucial to successful association governance. With Emily E. Gannon, Esq.

HOAleader.com Reader Raises Red Flags Over HOA Manager’s Gathering of Proxies

Contribution in this article by Lisa A. Magill, Esq. BCS (Kaye Bender Rembaum, P.L.) | from HOALeader.com

An HOAleader.com reader asks: “We’re a Minnesota HOA in our third year. Our board elections are next week, and I’m running for an open seat. Our property management company has sent two emails to homeowners ‘strongly encouraging’ homeowners to send their proxies to the property manager to ensure a quorum. Of the 67 homes, last year 45 were represented at the annual meeting, so a 10 percent quorum of 67 isn’t much of a concern this year.

Here’s the text of what the property manager sent today: ‘This is a reminder that the 2025 Annual Meeting is quickly approaching on 11/5/2025 at 6:30 PM. If you are unable to attend, please fill out the attached proxy to (email address was in this place) (please include proxy in the subject line) or by one of the other options listed at the bottom of the proxy. If you have already returned your proxy, thank you for participating in your annual meeting! We strongly urge homeowners to send in their proxy, as this helps the association meet the required quorum.‘

Candidates aren’t announced until homeowners arrive at the annual meeting. Therefore, when a homeowner submits a proxy, there isn’t a way for them to know who’s running. Our governing documents are silent on how proxies are handled.
