Looking Ahead to a Happy and Productive New Year

Happy New Year to all of our directors. Another year is behind us and we are looking forward to a very productive 2013. Given the many perils that condominium associations face on an annual basis we have decided to focus on Risk Management this year.  The overlying theme to our seminar series, monthly newsletters, and Blog postings will focus on identifying and assessing risk within your associations. We aim to share our over 35 years of knowledge and experience in this area with our clients and help them to avoid unnecessary loss. We will touch on insurance, legal matters, rules enforcement, proper reserve funding and much more.

Have you ever sat through a 3 hour board meeting and wondered to yourself, "what the heck are we talking about?" Well we recognize that everyone's time is precious and when you are volunteering as a board member you shouldn't be expected to pour countless hours into board meetings. Our first seminar of 2013 will focus on Efficient and Effective Board Meetings.    Learn more.

A board meeting that sails smoothly from the call to order all the way through to the adjournment is the dream of any board of directors. This great article explains how to achieve the the Zen of a one hour board meeting.  Read more.

We also have a great presentation posted on our website here that explains the game plan that you can use to keep board meetings short and sweet.

Being able to escape to our winter residence in Florida is a great blessing every year. We love to take the much needed time away to recharge the batteries and soak in a little sun. On the flip-side of the coin though is the fact that we go from being condo managers in Michigan to condo owners in Florida. I'd love to share some of our observations as we have just attended our annual meeting.   Read more.

Plan to Attend a Cummings Seminar
We will focus on Risk Management throughout this year's seminar series. 2012 was a busy year in our office. We helped guide our directors through every disaster from water loss to fire. We want to share those experiences with all of you and help you to plan ahead to deal with the worst. Check in on our offerings often on the  Seminar Page of www.cummingsmanagement.com
