Board Code of Conduct ... or ... Commitment To Good Service

I have seen documents called a "Code of Conduct" or "Code of Ethics" for HOA and Condo Association directors and I have crafted my own, from those ideas and through my own experiences. I want to share my document and believe if more HOAs and Condo Associations used it, more board members would have a sense of what is expected of them.

You can find this document at http://www.bgcondolaw.com under "What's New".

And if it was utilized to its full benefit, it could serve other purposes as well, such as serving as a basis for disciplinary action if needed or as a basis for taking action to form an executive committee of the board to deal with board member confidence breaches. If a board member is detrimental to the association and cannot be removed by the Board, there are ways to diffuse their powers and abilities and I will discuss this in another blog.

Meanwhile, board members ought to be willing to sign on with a simple "commitment" to good service.
