Roles and Responsibilities of Other Board Members

Other board members in a homeowner association (HOA) typically include individuals who occupy specific roles, such as committee chairpersons or members-at-large. While these roles may not have the same level of responsibility as the president or treasurer, they are critical to the smooth running of the association. These other board members share the same basic responsibilities as the main board members, which include enforcing the association’s rules, maintaining common areas, and managing the association’s finances.

One key role often filled by other board members is that of a committee chairperson. These individuals lead specific committees, such as the architectural review committee, the landscape committee, or the social committee. They coordinate committee activities, ensure that tasks are completed, and report back to the board on their progress. They may also be responsible for recruiting new committee members.

Members-at-large, another common role among the other board members, do not have a specific role but contribute to the board’s decision-making process. They participate in board meetings, vote on important issues, and provide their input on the association’s operations. They may also step in to fill a vacancy on the board if necessary.

The specific responsibilities of these other board members are typically laid out in the association’s bylaws. The bylaws also provide guidelines on how these members are elected and how long they serve. In general, all board members, regardless of their specific role, are expected to put the best interests of the association and its members first.
