Community Management Services Practice Test

In community associations, most of the decision-making authority is typically delegated to the board. The board of directors is elected by the association members and is tasked with overseeing the management of the community, making crucial decisions regarding rules, budgets, and the overall direction of the association. Board members usually have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the association, which empowers them to make decisions on behalf of all owners. They are responsible for representing the interests of the community and handling various operational matters, often relying on the input from homeowners but maintaining the ultimate authority in decision-making processes. While management plays an important role in executing the board's directives and the association's attorney provides legal counsel, the board remains the primary decision-making body in the community association structure.
