Hawaiiana Management Company is committed to providing educational resources for its board of director clients. To this end, Hawaiiana recently hosted nearly 400 association board members at Waikiki’s Hale Koa Hotel during their “Preside with Confidence” seminar. It was Hawaiiana’s most well-attended seminar to date!

The seminar covered a number of topics pertinent to condos and community associations including fiduciary duties for board members, project management, collections and reserve studies, and communication tips for board meetings. Presenters included experts in each respective field including condo attorneys John Morris and Christopher Shea Goodwin, Dana Bergeman of project management firm Bergeman Group, and communications expert Pam Chambers. In-depth notes on the Preside with Confidence seminar are available at the Hawaiiana Management Company website.

Although the seminar is over, Hawaiiana’s commitment to serving association board members does not end. Hawaiiana has a number of helpful videos for board members which provide information to help them succeed in performing their fiduciary duties. They include “How to Read Your Association’s Financial Statement,”  “Welcome to the Board – Now What?” and “Where do my Maintenance Fees Go?” These videos and more can be found on Hawaiiana’s website, under the “News & Info” section. Just drop down to “Training Videos” to see a variety of options.
