WILD BOARD MEETINGS!

By Jan Bergemann
   
It seems that screaming and hollering is pretty common at board meetings in Florida’s community associations. Over the years I have attended board meetings where the participants were obviously under the impression that the one who screamed the loudest is right. And if that didn’t work some folks even turned to physical confrontations.
    
I always think that community associations bring out the worst in people. Our TV programs are full of so-called REALITY-SHOWS. As we all know, most of them are actually scripted – and are often not really reality shows. The producers of such shows should just attend board meetings – and they can film better shows than any writer could script.
      
But these screaming and fighting “matches” are in my opinion not caused by just a few obnoxious owners, they are caused by a system that allows bullying and dictatorial behavior. Every fight at such board meetings has two sides to the story. In most communities I know there are two – or even more – parties that fight each other. And these fights often turn ugly, causing scenes like described above.
