Navigating the complexities of community association governance is increasingly challenging due to evolving laws, heightened personal liability for board members, and onerous regulation including the personal information required of volunteer board members under the controversial Corporate Transparency Act. In this episode of Take It To The Board, host Donna DiMaggio-Berger and producer Claude Jennings Jr. address a host of listener questions and shed light on the most pressing issues board members face today.

Are more board members resigning than ever before?  Is a board member required to resign from the board once his or her unit is under contract? How can personnel issues be handled tactfully?  Can releases from members adequately protect the association from liability and why are some ESAs so noisy? Donna and Claude debunk common misconceptions about board service, discuss new educational requirements for volunteer board members, and offer strategies for effective governance and keeping your cool so board service doesn't get you down. Get ready for an in-depth guide to navigating the world of HOA and condominium governance.

• Emotional support animals
