The Crisis at hand
Homeowners are being hit with skyrocketing association dues and special assessments to cover the costs of capital reserves, insurance, regulatory engineering & inspections
The financial impact is palpable. Our panel will be ready to help answer questions and share ideas regarding the possible solutions
Risk Mitigation & Community Involvement
There is no one silver bullet to fix what has been generations in the making.
This is the opportunity for you to get engaged and make a positive impact in our Community.
Let's use this meeting to engage and share constructive ideas respectfully
We're all in this together
This crisis impacts us all. While we'll be discussing what solutions are currently in motion to bring some relief, we should also be thinking out of the box and "redesign" what risk management should look like in the future.
