What role does the community manager typically play in board meetings?

The community manager typically plays the role of recording the minutes of the meeting during board meetings. This responsibility is critical as it ensures that an accurate account of the discussions, decisions, and actions taken during the meeting is documented. Recording minutes provides a formal record that can be referenced later by board members and homeowners, helping to maintain transparency and accountability within the community.

While the community manager may facilitate discussions and provide input on various agenda items, their primary function is not to decide motions, vote on behalf of homeowners, or oversee all discussions but rather to capture the details accurately and ensure proper procedures are followed. This role of recording minutes is essential for effective governance and helps ensure that all actions taken by the board are properly documented for future reference and compliance purposes.
