Bylaws
We amend and restate bylaws to provide associations with easy-to-read and understand documents. Following are some of the changes we incorporate into our restated bylaws:

  • eliminate cumulative voting to stop "proxy wars" and make elections conform to municipal election models

  • eliminate quorum requirements for the election of directors so that elections are like municipal and state elections

  • eliminate nominating committee language so as to avoid conflicts with the statutory self-nomination requirements

  • make nominations from the floor optional to allow elections to be conducted entirely through the mail

  • add 2-year staggered terms to create continuity and stability on the board

  • add director qualifications requiring that candidates for the board be owners, not be in litigation with the association, not be a convicted felon, etc.

  • add due process procedures for suspending voting rights

  • add procedures for the inspection of records

  • put the entire document in plain English so it can be easily read and understood
