An absolute 'must attend' seminar for all concerned Presidents and Directors.

Condominium Presidents and Directors of all types of condominium corporations will benefit from the opportunity to hear essential, practical and meaningful information.

Back by Popular Demand...

This sixth in a series of unique seminars continues to review the role and enhance the performance of a Board President or Director.

To serve on a condominium Board as President or a Director takes a special kind of person. A unique blend of leadership skills, community values and the ability to get along with all types of people is essential in order to gain the respect of the community.

Ideally a condominium Board of Directors would be made up of a lawyer, an accountant, an engineer, an insurance specialist and, of course, a mediator! However, in reality a board is made up of ordinary volunteers trying their best to serve their community and deal with the huge range of issues that affect the lives, homes and investments of their neighbours.

To make the task easier, the Canadian Condominium Institute is presenting the sixth in a series of popular Presidents' Club seminars. Earlier sessions have covered issues such as 'Welcome Packages', 'Enforcement of the 3 P's', 'Elections and Removal', Standards of Care', 'The Difficult AGM' and more. This sixth session will examine the Role, Relationship and Responsibilities of the Property Manager and Board Members to ensure the optimum working partnership.
