Board Roles & Responsibilities
HOA President
There are several important duties for the HOA President. First, they are a liaison between the HOA board and communities to the management company. The president also presides over the association’s board meetings unless they delegate this duty to another party. A single individual must oversee handling meeting logistics to ensure an orderly procedure. That said, just because the president oversees the flow of the board meetings does not grant them any special priority or privilege over association business. Their vote carries the same weight as any other board member. Like all board members, the president will also possess signing authority on the association’s banking accounts.
HOA Vice President
The vice president’s main role is to act in the president’s place if the president is unavailable. It’s unreasonable to think that one person will always be available. So, the vice president role adds an important layer of support. The vice president should be familiar with all the duties of the president, so they can seamlessly take the role in the event the association president is temporarily unable to complete certain tasks.
HOA Treasurer
The Treasurer is responsible for overseeing the association’s fiscal health and work closely with the community association management company to ensure the HOA maintains a stable financial footing. The HOA’s treasurer usually assists with the budget process, reviewing the association’s monthly financials and reporting this information in brief to the board. Treasurers are also usually tasked with approving invoices and sign
HOA Secretary
The Secretary manages much of the administrative paperwork flow, and meeting notes, along with support from the association’s management company. In addition, they will review board meeting minutes prepared by the management company and may act as the principal signer on association documents, such as legal or banking documents.
HOA Member at Large
This fifth board member bears no special role, except to attend board meetings and submit a (potentially tie-breaking) vote on association matters. Though there are no commonly ascribed duties for this position, individual boards may decide to task this board member with specific responsibilities. Each HOA board handles this role differently, based on the needs of their association.
