Attention educators, parents, and advocates! Let’s weave together the threads of community engagement and financial empowerment. Visit Jackie Ferrado, the Associate Director for Community Engagement at the WA529 table. WA529 is on a mission to empower Washington families by helping them save for educational expenses. Imagine a future where every student has access to higher education without the burden of excessive debt. That’s the vision we’re working toward. Just as Barbara Hunter emphasizes community engagement to bridge divides, Jackie Ferrado’s work echoes this sentiment. She empowers families to take control of their financial futures. Let’s rally around the idea that every child deserves a shot at higher education. WA529’s programs—GET and DreamAhead—provide flexible options for families to save. Whether it’s a traditional college or a trade school, we’re here to support students’ dreams. Swing by the conference, connect with fellow educators, and explore how community engagement and financial planning intersect. Let’s build bridges, break barriers, and pave the way for a brighter educational future. #WA529 #CommunityEngagement #HigherEducationSavings

Increasingly it is about working smartly across all sectors to help address the plethora of challenges communities are facing. Below are some good examples

Do you know what type of Association you live in or work in ??? Let us help you figure it out in our continued post addressing the different types of association structures.

Case law alert! Be sure to think about (and potentially adopt policies) around Board member communications between formal meetings-when is a meeting not a meeting? When is an email chain a meeting? Be careful out there!

Well this is an interesting turn of events! Check out the below headline and article from Berding & Weil. I'm curious my industry colleages' thoughts on this! I have always cautioned board members against discussing items at length over e-mail. Why? Well, we believed it was prohibited by California law; our industry attorneys long provided us such guidance to pass down to our clients. But also, I always put myself in the shoes of the average homeowner. How would they feel not having visibility into the "whys" behind the vote? It's important to withhold decision making for board meetings, yes. But I also think the majority of deliberation should happen at said meetings (and not over e-mail). This enables the community to understand how we got to where we are, the dynamics of the respective directors, perhaps who put various items on the agenda, and more. When board members conceal their discussion topics behind closed doors, the membership is in the dark on too many things. I always believed the Open Meeting Act was adopted in the spirit of transparency. What do you think? Can the membership really know its community leaders if association business is discussed behind closed doors?
