After the Claim: Managing Settlement Fund and the Repair Process - Virtual Class
Class Description:
A common misconception in the community association industry is that obtaining funds at the end of an insurance claim or a construction defect lawsuit is the conclusion of the process. The reality is that the receipt of funds marks a starting line for another critical process in the community: the repair process.
Considering how much time and effort management and boards invest in the active claim, it is only natural to see acquisition of the funds as the goal. However, the repair of the community’s physical assets is the true objective.
This program helps participants see the true finish line through investment of funds, management of expectations, vetting of contractors, community goal setting, and some administrative notes about documentation, taxes and disclosures.
