“Serving on a board goes far beyond approving budgets—it’s about guiding your community toward lasting success. Shift from simply volunteering to truly leading. Motivate your team, deepen collaboration with management, and build a vision that ensures your association thrives well into the future.” – James Squires
What is the standard of care that a community association officer and board member owe to their association?
The Homeowners’ Association Act (Ch. 720 Fla. Stat.) provides in §720.303, “The officers and directors of an association are subject to §617.0830 and have a fiduciary relationship to the members who are served by the association.”
The Condominium Act (Ch. 718 Fla. Stat.) in §718.111 similarly provides, “The officers and directors of the association have a fiduciary relationship to the owners.” Still, though, there is no express definition of the term “fiduciary relationship” set out in either piece of legislation.
