CEO and podcast host Tom Freeley talks about the qualifications and the qualities of leaders. Leaders set goals, provide guidance, surround themselves with talented people and have a clear vision for teams and organizations. A leader also is an influencer of people, who can coach a group to achieve a common goal, and who is willing and able to ask for help. Trust and communication are key. Difficult and tough decisions are part of the job. Embrace them! Listen in for more of Tom’s thoughts on leadership.

The deadline to comply with the Corporate Transparency Act is quickly approaching (December 31, 2024). What does that mean for homeowners’ associations, which are included in the BOI reporting requirements of the act? Which communities are exempt? What must beneficial owners file with the Department of Treasury and what are the penalties for non-compliance? Dawn Bauman, Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs for the Community Associations Institute and Executive Director of the Foundation for Community Association Research, provides an update on the legislation and CAI’s lawsuit to exempt community associations. While CAI continues to work with the Federal Government to repeal or delay the act, Bauman advises HOAs and boards to be prepared to comply by January 1.
