This week Kevin and Robert discuss why it’s impossible to have a perfect HOA. Just know this: making mistakes is okay, as long as you act in the best interest of the association and fulfill your fiduciary duties. They also cover the impact of inefficiencies on community anxiety, the role of clear communication in managing expectations, and the importance of directors and officers liability insurance to protect the board from lawsuits. Small administrative errors shouldn't cause panic!
