Since the pandemic hit, however, stress and polarization among neighbors and between board members have become chronic problems. Unfortunately, ignoring confl ict doesn't make it go away—it often leads to resentment and acrimony that can stall projects, derail meetings, and impede a board's ability to govern its community. These management experts will discuss ways to address tension, improve communication, and de-escalate confl icts, in both the context of board operations and between neighbors. Speaker: Eric Staszczak, Executive Vice President of Property Management Capital Planning for Aging Infrastructure - You Must Have a Plan Presented by: Reserve Advisors, PBG Financial Services Ltd, WINTRUST COMMUNITY ADVANTAGE Unless you live in a brand new building, chances are you’ll have to navigate a major capital improvement or replacement project before too long. Paying for a new roof, HVAC system, or major façade work can strike fear in the hearts of boards and residents alike—but smart planning can relieve some of that fear and set the stage for suc- cess. This panel of experts will discuss the importance of conducting a thorough reserve study (and keeping it up to date), sound investment policy, and best budgeting practices, and will guide you through funding options to zero in on the best path forward for your building.

Fortunately, recent innovations in plumbing repair technology offer easier, less disruptive, and more time- and cost-effi cient options for multifamily properties. Come learn about these new products and processes, see in-person demos, and fi nd out how your building or association can benefi t from what's new and improved in water and waste management.

This seminar will offer a crash course in making decisions to repair or replace your roof, discuss how to manage your roof as an asset, and help develop a 'roof resume' to give you a constant, real-time understanding of your roof's current status, enabling you to plan in advance and avoid expensive emergency service calls. Speaker: Brad Hironimus, General Manager of Custom Installations Get the Wet Out - Spotting Leaks & Structural Problems Before They Turn Hazardous Sponsored by: The Real Seal Water may be life, but when it appears in the form of leaks or other moisture infi ltration into a building, it can bring health hazards, structural damage, and staggering costs. Come fi nd out the most common causes of leaks, foundation cracks, and other serious issues; how structural maintenance and waterproofi ng go hand in hand; and preventative measures your association can take to protect its property. This panel of experts will also discuss water management, proper window installation and sealing, signs and symptoms of structural trouble, and some myths vs. realities when it comes to keeping your property safe, sound, and dry. Speaker: Austin Werner, President/Owner, The Real Seal Safe and Sound? - Reserve Study Lessons from the Surfside Collapse Presented by: Association Reserves The tragic loss of life and property in Surfside, Florida, this past June shocked the nation—and drove home the crucial importance of maintaining adequate reserve funds to keep buildings in good repair. This information-packed presentation will discuss the components of a robust reserve fund, how to make a funding plan and measure the strength of your reserves, communicating the importance of adequate reserves to boards and residents, and—perhaps most importantly—getting buy-in from your neighbor-constituents when it comes to funding and making vital repairs.
