M204 - Managers Community Governance begins where The Essentials of Community Association Management (M-100) left off. It helps you master one of the most important aspects of successful association management - governance. In this course on the legal basis of community rules, policies, and procedures, you'll get a better grasp of board and management responsibilities. You'll learn how to steer clear of problems and give your board and owners the support and advice they need. Using your own community documents, you will learn how to spot potential problems, how to revise policies and procedures to comply with current laws, and how to recommend management practices. This course provides an understanding of a community association as a legal entity and clarifies the corporate, contractual, and ethical basis for a manager's role in community governance. October 3-4 at the Hyatt Place, Mystic CT
