Robert Nordlund welcomes longtime homeowner advocate Steve Horvath to share hard-won wisdom from the boardroom. Steve, co-founder of HOA United, unpacks how board members can go beyond the bare minimum and truly advocate for their communities. They explore why open meetings matter, how to ask better questions, and why blind trust in experts can lead to costly mistakes.

Some Key Takeaways for viewers and listeners:

• Advocate, Participate, Escalate

• “Satisficing” – a choice made to accept an imperfect or incomplete outcome, out of expediency

• Trust, but verify

• Seek expert counsel, but don’t just take them at their word

• Don’t be satisfied with achieving minimum standards

• Book: “Privatopia” by Evan McKenzie

• Book: “Decision Making in Communities: Why Groups of Smart People Sometimes Make Bad Decisions” by Jasmine Martirossian"
