As a condo owner, you want to protect the value of your home. One of the best ways to do that is to become a condo association volunteer. As part of your association, you’ll have the opportunity to serve and build your community, making life better for your neighbors. Don’t believe us? Here are 5 great reasons to be a condo association volunteer starting today:
-
Give a voice to underrepresented groups in your community
Your community is likely full of diverse cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds. When needs aren’t met for one of these groups, it might be time for you to join your condo association as a board member. Underrepresented peoples deserve great leaders who fight tirelessly and effectively for meaningful change. Perhaps you know exactly what needs to be done, and just need a seat at the table.
-
Solve community issues
Do you have useful business and management skills? Do you understand finances? Your condo association needs experienced professionals to make the difficult decisions. You could be the perfect person for the job!
-
Enhance your resume
Condo association volunteering can be a difficult job. You’ll need to cultivate excellent people skills, learn clear written communication skills, and understand the ins-and-outs of the condo association world. Varied tasks create easily transferrable skills that look good on any resume. You’ll gain valuable leadership experience, working with an incredible team.
-
Plan social events
Sometimes, people need an excuse to meet each other. Social events, such as potlucks, game nights or holiday parties can allow more sedentary residents of your community to connect with their neighbors. Budget your HOA fees effectively by utilizing already-available amenities in your condo, such as a fitness center, sports complex, or swimming pool. Want to plan a pool party that will be talked about for years to come? You can do it by becoming a condo association volunteer.
-
Meet incredible people
Maybe you want to be a condo association volunteer just to meet some new people. Don’t worry—underneath all the work, there are amazing people in your condo association. You’ll find lifelong friends and have exciting experiences. Association boards across the country are staffed by hardworking folk who share a common purpose: to see their community thrive. If that’s your goal too, look no further and begin your journey as a condo association volunteer today.
How do I get started?
If you want to start serving your community through your condo association board, you’ll need to ask the association about elections. Begin attending open meetings, offering your support and insight. If you simply want to see what you can do for your neighborhood, contact your association through email or phone—volunteers are always appreciated!
