		<description><![CDATA[Board of Directors in community associations are protected from liability in the course of operating and making decisions by what is known by the “Business Judgment Rule”.  The Business Judgment Rule requires that the Board act within a reasonable manner and take the necessary steps to justify their decisions. If the Board did not use good business practices in their decision and something were to happen or be challenged, it could then be argued that they did not use good judgment. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having been managing various forms of real estate in Florida since 1972, I have often contemplated why there is a “disconnect” between a Board of Directors and their Unit Owners.  To the Unit Owner, the Board does not understand what the unit owners want, need and have to endure.  And with that, the Board will say, “It is right there in the documents, why don’t they read?” ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As your new Association President I’d like to take two minutes or less to address the membership before the official meeting begins, if I may.

First, I’m your neighbor.  I came here tonight with an open mind and a clear head.  I left my personality at the door.

I’d like our meetings to be held according to Robert’s Rules, a copy of which I’ve given to the Vice President and ask that he bring it along with him to all our meetings.  You’re all welcome to borrow it any time before or after each meeting. ]]></description>

They are a member who is on the Board of Directors for “other reasons” than doing what is best for the association.  They seem to want to be on the Board to prove something to others and maybe to themselves and their families.]]></description>
