INC NEWS - new HOA laws and seminar

[RW Pickle]

I am posting this to the INC list thinking it may help other HOA's here.
It is not relative to Forest Hills.

Dear Forest Hills Homeowner Association Board or Committee Member:

Fast forward to your first board meeting of 2006:  chances are that there
is at least one resident who will appear at your board meeting to
challenge the association's compliance with the new homeowner association
laws.  Is your board prepared?

Was your association created before or after Jan 1, 1999?  Do the new laws
supercede your covenants?  Does your association have a 'Best Practice'
Policy for Fines and Collections?  Have you checked your local sign
ordinance?  What financial records must be made available to residents? 
Are the association bylaws specific about payments and reimbursements to
board members?  The Law Firm of Bailey and Dixon will answer these and
other questions at the Raleigh seminar.

The first seminar on the new House Bill 1541 is in Raleigh on October
25th!  Registration has been steady and seating is limited.  There are
over 3,400 associations in the Triangle region and seating for only 250
associations.  Register online now and ensure that your association is
prepared on January 1, 2006.

Please visit www.hoa-nc.com to learn more and to register to attend a
seminar in your area.

Thank You,

Jim Laumann, President
Homeowner Associations of North Carolina (HOA-NC)
