SUPPOSE GOOD 2.0

SUPPOSE GOOD at a homeowners association, where to start? Maybe with a word like...prudent? When you have a role managing an association's money, that word -- prudent -- is a good word to have in mind. Taking your role as a steward of your neighbors' money very seriously, diligently keeping your eye on the purse strings.

SUPPOSE GOOD

We're starting something, hope it catches on. It's called SUPPOSE GOOD. Getting good going, that's the goal. To overcome negativity. There's an abundance of that right now. What a waste! Negativity. Negativity surrounding organizations, including HOAs. Negativity in business. Negativity in government. Okay...over and out for now.

Always the same old HOA news

When there's news about HOAs on TV or in newspapers, it's mostly the same old news over and over again. Someone puts up a flag, changes something on their home, has hens, roosters or pigs on their property, maybe playground equipment. Things like that. If reporters happen to call, what happens? Lots of scrambling around, probably. An OMG! moment.  There's a reporter calling, emailing or knocking on the door! What are we going to do? What comes in handy, sometimes, is having some kind of general response in mind. So, when a reporter asks: What are you planning to do about this? (The THIS being one of those things like flags, roosters, etc.), the response might be: We hope to be able to address this situation through discussions involving the homeowner, our homeowners association and concerned neighbors. Something that says a little something, without saying more than should be said, especially when you're under pressure.
