Advocating for condominium homeowners across the United States
From Alaska to Florida and Hawaii to Maine, common interest communities (better known as community associations or condos, co-ops and HOAs) are everywhere. This program will explore how legislation influences association governance and operations in Washington State and across the nation. In addition, we'll discuss the role of the business industry and why homeowner-centric advocacy is critical for superlative legislative outcomes.
Homeowners of America (HOA) United is a nonprofit organization led by volunteers that connects homeowners to provide advocacy, collaboration, education, empowerment, and inspiration to create positive, transformative impacts for common interest communities. HOA United relies on the engagement and donations from members across the United States.
Condo Connection is a highly-developed volunteer passion project dedicated to maintaining healthy, vibrant common interest communities through access to information. Condoconnection.org applies a pragmatic approach to provide access to the best concepts, content and ideas homeowners and volunteers can immediately apply in their communities and offers learning and engagement opportunities for individual homeowners, volunteer leaders, and community managers. The bi-weekly CIC Info Bytes newsletter contains dozens of news articles and insights about topics that directly and indirectly impact community associations.
Steve Horvath has been an active part of the Seattle condominium community for over a decade as a multi-term board member and committee volunteer. Steve founded Condo Connection to provide free education and resources, the SMAARTE Group to provide homeowner-centric consulting services, and co-founded HOA United where he actively volunteers as a national advocate for legislative reforms that balance the reasonable expectations and needs of homeowners with the responsibilities of community associations.
