A successful handover between outgoing and new condo board members
A good handover stops the board from rediscovering the same problems and lets new members contribute from day one.
Every board renewal can put the property’s memory at risk. Without a handover, contracts, decisions, and sensitive files become scattered. A structured transfer creates continuity.
Prepare a welcome file
- Useful contacts: manager, contractors, insurer, and board members.
- Reference documents: bylaws, recent minutes, contracts, and budget.
- Open files: projects, claims, arrears, and deadlines.
- Important dates and confidentiality rules.
Transfer context, not just files
For each important matter, add why it exists, what has been decided, who is acting, and what comes next.
