Candidate Recommendation Survey

Choosing the right board members matters, they make decisions that directly impact your home and community. Those 50-word candidate statements? They barely scratch the surface of what you need to know. This survey digs deeper, asking about the issues that really matter: how decisions get made, how money gets spent, and how well residents stay informed. Your responses are completely anonymous, and we'll match you with candidates who share your priorities. Because you deserve to vote with confidence.

Communication and Transparency:(Required)
Do you believe all board meetings should allow owners to speak or submit written communication that is accessible to all board members?
Press Enter
Owner Security Notification(Required)
If an Association employee uses a stolen master key or unit key to enter a unit and steal property, and the board later discovers the employee has broken into other units, should the board notify the affected owners and all residents so they can review their units for missing or tampered items?
Press Enter
Fee Increases and Notifications:(Required)
Do you believe the board should be required to notify owners in advance of any increases in HOA fees and require an open meeting for owners to provide feedback and ask questions?
Press Enter
Transition to Modern Accounting Systems:(Required)
The board currently manages finances using Excel spreadsheets. An online accounting platform is a dedicated software system for tracking and recording financial transactions, organizing accounts, and generating reports, as opposed to manually managing data in spreadsheets. Should the board consider switching to this type of platform?
Press Enter
Voting Methods:(Required)
The association currently uses paper ballots for voting and resists adopting a secure, affordable digital voting system that includes both digital and paper ballot options. Would you support transitioning to a digital voting platform for improved accessibility, transparency, security, and convenience?
Press Enter
Barriers to Conventional Loans and Property Values:(Required)
The board’s actions, including frequent litigation with owners, have made it nearly impossible for prospective buyers to secure conventional loans. This is the largest contributing factor to declining property values. Do you believe a board should always consider the potential for litigation in response to its policies and decisions?
Press Enter
Consumer Protection for Electronic Payments:(Required)
Currently, the board endorses the Sudler Automated Clearing House (ACH) solution, SNAPP, which does not provide essential consumer protections under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA). Would you support measures to ensure that all electronic payment methods used by our HOA meet federal consumer protection requirements, including providing clear Terms of Use and safeguarding owners' bank account information?
Press Enter
Conflict of Interest and Board Ethics:(Required)
Currently, our HOA has no ethics policy for board members. Do you believe our HOA should adopt a formal ethics policy that includes conflict of interest, fairness and impartiality, confidentiality, transparency, accountability, and education elements?
Press Enter
Training and Professional Development for Board Members:(Required)
Should all board members be required to undergo training on HOA governance, financial management, and legal responsibilities upon election?
