New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
Can I ask what most coop Boards give newly elected members to bring them up to speed?
We don't have a management company, which sometimes offers classes for newly elected Board members, but I will be looking into . Three months in and I've figured out a few things, ie to get a copy of the By-Laws and a copy of the Proprietary Lease so that I can be familiar with these items. Our building manager has offered to sit down and run me through whatever I need to know, but what should I be asking for? Do most boards have a binder of info they give new members to read? I've also requested, monthly financials, etc How do you welcome your new Board members?
