IT’S NOT GENDER – IT’S BUSINESS SAVVY!

All these days – like Father’s Day – are nice, but have in recent years been turned into a money-pit. Congrats to all fathers – you deserve it! The bad part: Getting bombarded with ads weeks before the actual Father’s Day!

 

That still leaves us with the question: Do male or females make better association board members?

I don’t believe that gender gives us an answer to this question. I don’t think it has anything to do with the fact that the board member is male or female!

The important part is not the gender – it’s BUSINESS SAVVY!

 

Property owners have to understand that a community association is nothing else than a business – often with a pretty huge budget where complicated issues have to be decided by board members who are volunteers.

 

If you are looking to elect good board members, you better check the background of the candidates before voting for them.

 

Chose candidates who have business experience and are – hopefully – experienced in decision making. That makes good board members.

A cute face – or long legs – don’t really help when serious decisions have to be made!

Jan Bergemann Jan Bergemann is president of Cyber Citizens For Justice, Florida 's largest state-wide property owners' advocacy group. CCFJ works on legislation to help owners living in community  

associations. He moved to Florida in 1995 - hoping to retire. He moved into a HOA, where the developer cheated the homeowners and used the association dues for his own purposes. End of retirement!

 

CCFJ was born in the year 2000, when some owners met in Tallahassee - finding out that power is only in numbers. Bergemann was a member of Governor Jeb Bush's HOA Task force in 2003/2004.

 

The organization has two websites to inform interested Florida homeowners and condo owners:

News Website: http://www.ccfj.net/.

Educational Website: http://www.ccfjfoundation.net/.

   
We think that only owners can really represent owners, since all service providers surely have a different interest! We are trying to create owner-friendly laws, but the best laws are useless without enforcement. And enforcement is totally lacking in Florida !
