Annual General Meeting (AGM)

What is an HOA annual general meeting?

The annual general meeting is the one meeting every HOA is legally required to hold each year. It’s where the board presents the community’s financials, holds elections for open board seats, and gives residents a chance to vote on any major decisions on the table.

Why does an HOA annual general meeting matter?

For a lot of residents, the AGM is the only time all year they engage directly with how their community is run. A well-organized AGM builds trust; a chaotic or poorly attended one feeds the exact suspicion and rumor-mill dynamics boards are trying to avoid.
