  • Class #9: Association Records, Transparency & Disclosures in the Digital Age

    Welcome to Class #9 of our 2026 Virtual HOA/Condo Academy - in partnership with the cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Surprise and Tempe. 

    My name is Beth Mulcahy and I am the founder and senior partner for the Mulcahy Law Firm in Phoenix, Arizona. 

    Our firm currently represents more than 1,000 planned communities and condominium associations throughout Arizona. I also serve on my own board and have done so for many years, so I understand many of these issues from both the legal and board-member perspectives. 

    Before we begin, I also want to share an exciting firm milestone: we are less than two months away from celebrating Mulcahy Law Firm’s 30th anniversary on November 1. We are incredibly grateful to the communities, board members, managers, city partners, and colleagues who have trusted us and supported our work over the years.
    Today, we’ll begin with a brief review of the new Arizona laws that took effect over the weekend, on September 12, and that affect HOAs and condominium associations.
    Then, we’ll move into today’s main presentation: Association Records, Transparency, and Disclosures in the Digital Age.
    In this session, you’ll learn:
    ● Which association records must be maintained, and how long they must be kept.
    ● How to respond to homeowner records requests, including which records may lawfully be withheld.
    ● How to protect confidential information while still meeting the association’s transparency obligations.
    ● Disclosure requirements.
    ● Transfer fees and capital-contribution fees.
    ● Common mistakes that can create unnecessary liability for an association

  • 2026 June - Live Virtual First Friday Event

    Welcome to our firm’s Live Virtual First Friday Event for the month of June 2026! 

    Before jumping into answering our questions - I want to discuss a HOT topic that we have been addressing the last few weeks and will continue to talk about - new case law that impacts Arizona associations…Today we’re going to start this session with a quick overview of a brand‑new HUD memo on emotional support animals and what it means for Arizona HOAs and condos.

  • 2026 May - Live Virtual First Friday Event

    Welcome to our firm’s Live Virtual First Friday Event for the month of May 2026! 

    New Arizona case law is reshaping how HOA and condominium boards must conduct executive sessions. In this video, we break down the recent Arizona Court of Appeals ruling in AZNH Revocable Trust v. Sunland Springs Village Homeowners Association and explain what every board member, manager, and homeowner needs to know.

    What You'll Learn:

    Why boards can no longer vote in executive session
    What topics are still permitted for closed-session discussion under A.R.S. § 33-1804(A) / § 33-1248(A)
    How to properly structure executive and open meeting agendas
    Sample agenda language your board can use immediately
    Does SB 1290 in the Arizona Legislature matter?

    If you serve on an Arizona HOA or condo board, this ruling impacts your meeting practices starting now. Make sure your board is compliant and protected.
