Guest Jenny Posted January 6, 2015 at 12:32 AM Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 at 12:32 AM What is the role of the property manager at an HOA meeting?Ours sits in on every meeting, seems to get tapped for advice or direction about random things, but sometimes what she says is just as random and sometimes inconsistent.

Edgar Guest Posted January 6, 2015 at 12:37 AM Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 at 12:37 AM If the property manager is not a member of the body that is meeting (the board? the general membership of the HOA?) he's a guest and has no official role. Nor does he have any parliamentary rights, including the right to attend and speak. So, if he's not a member, and if enough members (i.e a majority of those present) want him to be quiet (or leave) he has to be quiet (or leave).

Guest Guest Posted January 6, 2015 at 12:42 AM Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 at 12:42 AM They are not a board member, and I do not believe they live in our association, and so is not a member of the association.Is it proper for the board to direct questions towards this person during their meetings?

Richard Brown Posted January 7, 2015 at 05:33 PM Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 at 05:33 PM They are not a board member, and I do not believe they live in our association, and so is not a member of the association.Is it proper for the board to direct questions towards this person during their meetings?Concurring with Josh Martin, not only is it proper for the board to direct questions to the property manager, it is rather customary for property managers, executive directors, executive secretaries, etc to attend board meetings for the purpose of giving reports and answering questions. However, as others pointed out, unless those individuals are members of the board, they have no automatic right to attend or participate in the board meetings and they are there as guests of the board. In some cases, bylaws or some other special rule may grant those persons the right to attend the meetings and might even require their attendance as part of their duties or job description. I apologize for the late response..... I'm just now getting completely caught up from the holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they bylaws might impose the duty without conferring the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
