What is an HOA annual general meeting?

The annual general meeting is the one yearly gathering nearly every HOA is required to hold, where the community reviews the budget, hears committee reports, votes on major decisions, and elects open board seats. Exactly how and when it happens is set by the association’s governing documents and state law, not by whatever the board finds convenient.

Why does an HOA annual general meeting matter?

For many residents, the AGM is the only time all year they see how their dues get spent and who’s running the community. Getting notices out early and using multiple communication channels is what turns a good turnout into real quorum, while a chaotic or sparsely attended meeting just feeds the rumors boards spend the rest of the year cleaning up.

When You’ll Run Into This

The AGM is where most residents form their entire impression of how well a board is running things, for better or worse. Our strategies for running a successful HOA annual meeting can help make sure yours leaves people reassured instead of frustrated.
