How to prepare your condo board before the general meeting
A structured group preparation helps the board arrive with useful questions, understood files, and shared priorities.
A general meeting is prepared well before voting day. The board can review files, set priorities, and raise questions early so co-owners can decide with clear information.
Set priorities early
- Review the year’s contracts, issues, projects, and decisions.
- Assign document reviews among board members.
- List questions for the property manager.
- Check quotes and alternatives for proposed work.
- Keep a record of the board’s questions and follow-up.
Read resolutions carefully
Each resolution should make its purpose, financial impact, supporting documents, and expected decision clear. Ask for clarification when essential information is missing.
