In many associations with the new year comes a new set of board members. In most associations there is no transition program and the newbies learn as they go. This can be problematic as many positions have responsibilities such as secretary or treasurer. Unless the senior members are proactive, then the new members have learn by being reactive to tasks that are assigned to them. Pacific Crest Reserves actually has a series of pages that help educate board members on reserves and spending on capital projects.
Another valuable resources is Community Association Instituted or CAI. CAI hold local seminars and online education for association members. For those that just want to browse they also have a HOA Resources Page.
