Under fire and a barrage of questions

There's a book that has questions and answers about hypothetical HOA issues. Answers that say a little something without saying too much. Because when board members or property managers are under fire facing a barrage of questions, they often need time to step back, to collect thoughts, to regroup...to maybe reach out to an HOA attorney or others whose counsel may be necessary. Sometimes a few words can buy time and maybe soothe emotions.

After a full career in corporate PR and crisis management, the book's author appreciates the value of buying time...of having words on the shelf and ready when needed. Words like these, for example: "We will discuss this with the homeowner and neighbors expressing concerns, with the goal of achieving a resolution of this situation." And these words: "Such issues, if they occur, would be addressed on a case-by-case basis."

In the book, the author also discusses written and verbal communication issues, privacy, neighbor relations and PR planning.

At various times during his corporate career, the book's author served on an HOA board. He wrote At Least Some PR, knowing that PR can be costly for organizations like HOAs. According to a recent article in Forbes, "Paying for PR is absolutely crazy"...The cost can range anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 per month, according to the Forbes' article. The author figured that some PR for the cost of a book might be helpful. He also kept the book short for quick reading.

At Least Some PR is available through Amazon Books.

Houston!! We have an issue!

Two dinosaur sculptures in the front yard of a home located in an HOA in the Houston area just made ABC 13 Eyewitness News. The homeowner said "she's been contacted (by the HOA) and asked what her plans were" for the dinosaurs, a T-Rex and a Velociraptor. The homeowner's "plans are directly tied to their plans," according to the TV-news story. "She says she is prepared to contest any request that they be removed. It's about creativity, not conformity." Here's the thing about media coverage of just about anything...of organizations like HOAs, business firms and all the rest. It's the question of whether or not -- to what extent -- media coverage might influence situations and outcomes. When organizations -- and their policies -- are in the news, will media coverage influence policy decisions? Keeping in mind, of course, the key role of governing documents in policies and procedures.

Better than blurting??

In several posts, we've been talking about prepared statements...how they might sometimes help HOA boards deal with tough questions from homeowners and even -- heaven forbid! -- tough questions from the news media. We're often asked if prepared statements are nothing but PR spin. People sometimes cringe at the mention of spin. Actually, a prepared statement is measured words in a measured response. What's preferable? Measured words or words blurted out in the heat of the moment?

Heaven or Hell?

( Editor's note: There's an article in a North Carolina newspaper, "My descent into HOA hell in North Carolina." And there's this article with a distinctly different message about HOAs.) Here's Why HOAs Are a Big Deal by Harvey Radin Would you believe that homeowner associations outnumber U.S. cities by a huge margin? There are more than 300,000 homeowner associations and only 35,000 U.S. cities and towns. HOAs also outnumber the giant retail store locations, fast food restaurants, megabank branches and coffee chain locations. The biggest fast food chains have 7,000-14,000 restaurant locations. Megabanks have 4,000-6,000 branches. The biggest coffee chains have up to 24,000 locations in the U.S. and other countries. Homeowner associations are a big deal. Not only because of the surprisingly large number of them, but also because many of them are multimillion-dollar properties. And many are managed and governed by volunteers, by homeowners who are e...
