A routine HOA-area blast turned into a nightmare when huge rocks crashed into homes, damaged association property, and triggered major insurance, liability, and communication issues. In this livestream recording, we revisit one of the most shocking HOA incidents discussed this year and break down what happened next. Were the homes repaired? Who ended up paying? What did the insurance process look like? What should managers and boards do immediately after a disaster like this?

CEU Video - HOA Blast Update + Are Manager–Board Friendships Appropriate On-Demand 1 hour, All Day Apr 21, 2026 12:00 AM EDT at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/9164698152445669470

This session is especially valuable for HOA managers, condo board members, community association leaders, and anyone involved in property management, insurance claims, reserve planning, risk management, or resident communication. The discussion covers real-world lessons about emergency response, documentation, inspections, owner updates, disaster planning, and how fast a community can spiral if the wrong steps are taken.

Then the conversation shifts to a topic that hits just as close to home: can HOA managers and board members really be friends? It sounds harmless, but this is where perception, favoritism concerns, gossip, influence, and professional boundaries can create serious problems. The panel discusses when being friendly crosses the line, how optics affect trust, and what managers should do to protect their neutrality and credibility.

This recording includes practical takeaways on: HOA disaster response, community association insurance issues, claims handling, liability questions, owner communication, manager professionalism, board relationships, and avoiding hidden conflicts.
