Sadly, a community of 8500 or so properties could not bring together a minimal quorum of only 100 properties to the meeting and now a special board meeting is required to validate/certify the election results.

Presentations by Rick Farr, Bruce Bright, John Viola, Linda Martin, and others could not have been done better.

Overall takeaway? Our association has never been in better condition.

Unfortunately, the video of the meeting leaves much to be desired. It is, in essence, a slide-show presentation covering 80% or so of the screen and we never see even one full-frontal view of the individuals speaking at the meeting.

The only face we ever really see clearly is that of the CPA fellow and he is calling in remotely. The only period without all slides is public comments.

Terrible for an HOA the size and scope of OPA - the second largest in the State of Maryland as pointed out by Attorney Bright.

The Power Point slides (or whatever they are) should not be, essentially, the almost 100% primary focus of what people see when viewing video of the annual meeting.
