I'm in the process of writing job descriptions for our HOA officers. I'd like to see samples of others. Please post or refer me to the job descriptions of officers in other HOA's. thanks

June,
I'm surprised the duties of the officers aren't already outlined in your bylaws! |

| There is no reason to do this..they are already speific in your docs. No one person can specify what the "job descriptions" are. |

| I don't think our documents do have job descriptions. Now we are the first board, but I don't see that we need job descriptions. Most people have a pretty good idea that the President runs the meetings, the Treasure oversees the finances, and the Secretary keeps the minutes. I would be very much in favor of allowing each rendition of the board deciding among themselves what the job descriptions are. |

June,
Are you by chance referring to "Officers" appointed by the Board. Our Board can select "Officers" for specific jobs and they do not have Board Standing but they can have authority, as directed by the Board. If so, then the appointment would also be their "Job description".
I suspect most association follow the guidelines of the Not for profit Business in the state. But be forewarned, this law does not fit like a glove on some associations. |

We did get more specific in our bylaws, only because no one was designated to do some things that had not been mandated before. Along with the general stuff the bylaws added that the president is to act as liaison to the township and the secretary is to maintain an accurate list of all members.

Susan,
If memory serves you jumped into the fray because you wanted to help, and you have come a long way. In reflection, what surprised you the most from day 1 until now. Without elaboration, for me, it was what a failure some of the "Leadership" of the ass0ciations had concocted. Couple that with the hard job it is to induce change, would be mine. As you know, it is a work in progress, even the ones well run. |
