You will hear from a roofing contractor about how these changes have impacted the construction industry and what community associations should be considering in planning for these large-scale projects. Similarly, an insurance agent in the community association field will detail changes in the underwriting of association policies, and what communities should be aware of as they approach their insurance renewals.

Greg Fioritto − Governance

Board members may benefit by being shown the legal and practical road signs for how to steer their communities. What are the duties and procedures for carrying them out, where there may be bumps in the road and ways to avoid them.
