Important Reminders Before Your Condo’s Annual Meeting

Important Reminders Before Your Condo’s Annual Meeting.  As a condo owner in Florida, it’s important to be prepared for your upcoming annual meeting. These meetings are an opportunity for the association’s board of directors to present important information and updates to the community, and for the community members to voice their concerns and ask questions.

Here are some important reminders to keep in mind before your annual meeting:

1. Review the agenda: Before the meeting, review the agenda to familiarize yourself with the topics that will be discussed. This will help you to prepare any questions or concerns that you may have.
2. Review the financial statements: The financial statements for the association will be presented at the meeting. Review these statements ahead of time to understand the financial health of the association and to ask any questions that you may have.
3. Bring your voting proxy: If you are unable to attend the meeting, you can assign your voting proxy to another member of the community. Make sure to bring your voting proxy with you to the meeting.
4. Get to know your board members: The board of directors will be leading the meeting, so it’s important to know who they are and what their roles are. Take some time to introduce yourself to the board members and ask any questions that you may have.

Additional Reminders

1. Review the minutes: Before the meeting, review the minutes from the previous year’s annual meeting. This will help you to understand what decisions were made and what actions were taken.
