The 12 Most Pressing Issues for Condo/HOA Boards In the New Year

An HOAleader.com Webinar for Condo and HOA Boards

Thursday, December 18, 2025
2-3 p.m. Eastern

Free Member Webinar Members can register for this event at no cost by clicking register now. Not a member yet? Just sign up for a free 7-day trial, and then register here.

The condo and HOA world is going through huge upheaval, from increased insurance costs to tighter requirements on reserves and maintenance to the use of artificial intelligence to both benefit and to attack boards.

The coming year promises to be just as intense. That’s why the best-run boards are working now to prepare their condo/HOA for the issues they’re most likely to face in the coming year.

We can help you identify and prepare for the challenges of 2026. Join us for a must-attend webinar on December 18. You’ll hear four community association experts with decades of experience discuss the trends they expect to be front and center in 2026, along with what you need to know to ensure you’re ahead of the curve instead of constantly putting out fires.

Here are 12 hot topics our experts are tracking for their clients:

1. What to know about the dramatic rise in recalls and contested elections, including how to prevent them with smart, proactive steps early rather than after-the-fact damage control
2. What you need to know about owners unleashing artificial intelligence on both boards and their association attorneys
3. The tactics boards are using to stay insured without breaking the bank
4. Why you should be preparing for increased delinquencies, including implementing or updating your collection policy
5. How to handle owners’ more-frequent records requests and demands for transparency
6. Tips for addressing your aging infrastructure without creating a financial crisis
7. Why California’s new law capping most condo/HOA fines at $100 is both a horror story and a heads up for boards nationwide about the importance of being aware of what’s happening in your state and local governments
8. Tactics for conveying bad news—perhaps assessment increases or special assessments—to your owners without facing mutiny and over-the-top anger
9. Why regulatory complaints against condos and HOAs are on the rise (spoiler alert: they’re relatively cheap or even free to file) and best practices and steps for dealing with those that will inevitably be filed against your association
10. How some California condo and HOA boards learned hard lessons after the “damage and destruction” language of their governing documents became an issue after wildfires
11. How technology is affecting condo and HOA notices—can you just email notices for such things as your annual membership meeting to members to save time and costs of postage?
12. When trying to curb attorneys’ fees can backfire and even lead to criminal penalties against your board members

In 60 information-packed minutes, you’ll get the information you need to ensure that 2026 is your association’s best and most positive year ever. Register now for this informative event for community association board members.

Enforcement of Your HOA’s Rules: How to Create Enforceable Rules, Effective Fines, and a Fair Violation Process

An HOAleader.com Webinar for Condo and HOA Boards

Thursday, October 2, 2025
2-3 p.m. Eastern

Our experts tell us that tensions continue to escalate at condos and HOAs—and more and more angry owners are more defiant and willing to challenge authority than ever before. So enforcing your condo or HOA’s rules in today’s environment must feel like you’re in a high-wire act.

But ensuring that rules in your community are enforced consistently and fairly doesn’t have to be a pitched, tense, and unpleasant battle between your board and your homeowners. With some smart planning, you can make enforcing your HOA’s rules quicker, easier, and less stressful.

Join us for an in-depth webinar on October 2 led by two community association experts who have decades of hands-on experience in advising associations on how to create and enforce rules and insights on the day-to-day operations of rules enforcement. You’ll get up-to-date practical ideas, systems, and processes you can begin to take advantage of at your association the minute the webinar ends.

You’ll learn:

• The role of the lowly rule in HOAs, being less powerful than a CC&R or a bylaw, but easier to implement than provisions in those weightier documents
• How to determine the steps you need to follow to create enforceable rules
• Tips for identifying what you can handle with a rule and what you should never try to accomplish through a rule
• How fines fit into rulemaking, including how to set an effective fine amount and how to know when you’ve gone too far with a fine
• The steps you need to take to create an effective violation system — from notice of a violation to providing a meaningful right for owners to state their defense at a fair hearing
• Insights into rules you’ll never be able to enforce and fines that’ll fall short of their goal to curb repeated violations
• Suggestions to help you avoid the most common mistakes boards make creating and enforcing their rules
• And much more!

In just 60 minutes, you’ll gain practical, valuable tools you can use right away to make your rules more enforceable and your violation process more fair. Register now for this informative event for community association board members.

Your hospital website has evolved far beyond its origins, it’s now the digital front door to your entire health system. But between AI hype, vendor promises, and the shift to composable architecture, many healthcare organizations struggle to connect the dots between available technologies and actual patient needs. The result? Fragmented digital experiences that fail to deliver on their promise.

Join us on Wednesday, September 3, for a candid conversation with healthcare digital leaders who are successfully bridging the gap between emerging technology and practical patient needs. We’ll cut through the buzzwords to focus on what’s actually working, what’s worth investing in, and how to develop the strategic framework that’s often missing when implementing new website technologies.

Join us as our panelists explore how you can:

• Develop a strategic approach to website transformation that aligns technology choices with organizational goals and patient needs
• Make smart platform decisions by understanding the real differences between major platforms and when composable solutions make sense
• Build flexible foundations using composable architecture to future-proof your investment and enable rapid adaptation
• Implement AI thoughtfully with clear use cases that enhance rather than complicate the patient experience, from intelligent search to automated scheduling to personalized content delivery
• Improve findability and discoverability through advanced SEO, schema markup, and optimizing for how patients now search using generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI overviews
• Create governance models that balance innovation with security, compliance, and the need for strategic oversight
