A thankless job. What comes to your mind when you hear those two words? There is one job that without a doubt deserves to be at the top of the list. An elected volunteer or community association board member. So a regular feature of our weekly podcast is a once a month episode devoted to sharing the stories of real life, unsung board heroes and in our eyes a board Hero. As one of the 2 million elected volunteers who are worthy of recognition for simply performing a thankless job well. We hope these HOA stories will affirm the value and importance of a board that takes their responsibility seriously and inspire and motivate board members across the country to keep up the good work.
