The Challenge
For many HOA’s, getting people to attend meetings is challenging, if not daunting. Often, despite the Board’s concerted efforts, people simply do not come, and the level of effort seems unjustified by the results. How can
Association Managers and HOA Board's summon their resources to get more people meaningfully involved in the process of the
HOA Community?

It has been said…
"If you lead a parade and no one follows…
you are just taking a walk."

A first step is to understand why people do not participate
they are not aware a meeting is taking place;
they receive inadequate notice;
they have other commitments;
they have a negative perception of the HOA and/or its Board of Directors
![Page 5: Tom Jonez - Morris Management presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052908/55953abd1a28ab9a098b45e6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Reasons for low Involvement
They believe their input is not taken seriously;
They perceive that decisions have already been made behind closed doors;
They think that the meetings are too time-consuming or boring; and
In some cases, meeting sites are too far away, inconvenient, or inaccessible.

Behind it all…
Underneath these very real and very valid reasons lies a deep-seated cynicism: generally, people today do not believe
their input makes a difference.
..and yet research proves that people tend to support what they help to create

The Real Solution is Believing that individual People have Value
A Manager or HOA Board’s fundamental weapon in developing participation is to make people’s input count in actual decision-making.
The Highest and Best solution is to believe in the value of community which boils down to believing and expressing that people are valuable – and actually caring about them
