WHAT DO
THEY DO?
A deep dive into the roles of HOA board officers.
Every homeowners' association (HOA) is required to have an elected board of
directors that acts on a community's behalf. Often, there's a misconception that all
board members do is measure budget performance and create and enforce rules. A
completely voluntary role, a board member is also a homeowner in the
community, so it's in their best interest to use their position for the good of the
association. While maintaining a safe and orderly neighborhood is one of their
primary duties, there's so much more that goes into the roles of board officers.
Here's a breakdown of each role and how they pitch in to keep things organized and
members happy.
PRESIDENT
The HOA board president steers the ship and navigates the direction of the association.
They guide the board, handle procedural duties, and serve as the spokesperson for business
matters. This person is the main point of contact for partners and contractors and takes the
lead on calling and running all meetings, including adding items to the agenda. The president
also calls for any votes and announces the results.
Primary Duties:
• Directs association business and affairs
• Schedules and runs board meetings
• Serves as liaison between board and partners
