Community Association Board Members Join Attorney Elliot Berton for Roundtable Discussion
Should all board meetings be open to community association members? Is there any benefit to having board members sign a code of conduct?
These are the types of questions addressed by community association lawyer Elliot Berton during a roundtable discussion hosted by CAMCO community association management on August 18th. Almost 50 community association board members from across the region gathered for the online seminar, which also covered rules enforcement within a community and confidentiality issues.
“I always appreciate the volunteers who donate a great deal of their time to do the right things for their communities,” Berton said. “It was a pleasure meeting so many dedicated, public-spirited board members.”
Berton focuses his practice on the protection of condominium and homeowners’ associations in state and bankruptcy courts. Drawing on his extensive experience representing banks, financial service companies and other creditors, he advises community association clients on negotiation and documentation of loans, service and other association contracts, assessment recoveries and other financial issues. Berton also assists associations with transition from declarant control, operational issues, governing document amendments and interpretation, and defense litigation.
A frequent lecturer, Berton has conducted board member roundtables and presented talks to managers both at seminars and for management companies covering an array of topics including rules enforcement, dealing with a troublesome resident, assessment collection, and borrowing in lieu of special assessments. He has also been a panelist for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute course “Who’s on First? Lien Priority in Pennsylvania,” “What’s On Second? Sophisticated Issues in Line Divestiture & Priority,” and at PBI’s annual Real Estate Institute and Bankruptcy Institute. Elliot has been a featured speaker for the Delaware County Real Estate Committee and has taught collection practices and procedures to attorneys and other professionals.
