I am not poster but I am on year 9 in my position and we are supposed to have annual elections. Have not had one on three years as cant get quorum at meetings. We even have to go door to door getting proxies. We also have folks who don’t share info at all.

[b]So if I quit just no one does it.[/b] They do like to complain verbally to people over flowers, gossip etc but not actually helpful. And a few of them are crooks who join board and leave. Like the guy who owned a snowplow company wanted is to use his firm and we explain we have RFP process and to bid to insured and license business and he wanted his uses at double cost. One meeting.

Then good people get burnt out. [/quote]

I posted upthread regarding this. yes, if you quit, and no one steps up, there is a process in place via state law - at least in VA, probably similar in other states - on next steps. Basically, a third party can be appointed.  I know this because it almost came to that in our condo HOA in the past 2 years. Eventually new people decided to run, and they only filled the necessary positions.

My experience over the years owning in several places with HOA boards -

way too much worry about enforcing rules because it's the easiest thing to do and requires little skill

budgeting and fees is overwhelming for most volunteers and gets worse the larger the association size and budget; they make the best decision they can but most decisions are made without a complete understanding of what going on; part of this is related to the fact that some board positions change out every few years

many volunteers fall into the part time employed or retirees; being on the Board gives them a job so they like doing it

and lastly the single biggest problem - equating the length of time one has been doing a job with quality. a person can be the HOA president for 10 years and do a poor job for 10 years; then again, a person can be HOA president for 1 year and do an amazing job
