[quote=Anonymous]I'm on an HOA too, OP, and have been for a decade. I've had similar experiences with new members not understanding what an HOA board does, and treating the President like a super. It's so rude. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.

I agree with the pp who suggested you recruit these homeowners to join the board. Even considering the issue with the treasurer, it will be good for them, and may be good for the community for them to be more actively involved. Maybe the community would be willing to pay for some additional services; and if not, these folks will learn that directly when they propose a budget and fee increases, which no one will agree to adopt. Let them try and get the votes. Just step aside and let them spin out their energy. Sometimes the best thing you can do is give people rope.

In the meantime, I agree with others who have suggested establishing firmer boundaries. I would come right out and remind them that you are a volunteer, not their super, and that they are welcome to express any concerns or bring new ideas to the HOA at the regular HOA meetings. Don't respond to any message from them that's not a genuine emergency.

You also need to get some additional board members on board asap. January is way too far away. Don't you have rules in your by-laws for filling vacancies? [/quote]
