We share our CommunityLINK Blog posts with several groups on LinkedIn. Our most recent post, Top 10 Reasons to Volunteer for your Community Association, received an incredible response. One of the comments included the readers own reasons to volunteer for your Community Association. We enjoyed reading his comments so much, we thought it would be great to share them with the rest of our Blog readers.
1. To create a community spirit! - My own HOA all came together and picked up garbage, debris and raked leaves. It saved everyone money and avoided a higher assessment for the forthcoming hear. This will be a bi-monthly event. We had a blast and got to know each other even more.
2. To save postage and exercise! - Posting mailings on each door rather than mailing can save the community on postage and is also great exercise!
3. To protect the community! - Law enforcement can't be everywhere all the time. We all look out for each other, by creating a Neighborhood Watch it is nothing short of a win-win.
Although these may not be the "normal" reasons homeowners volunteer for their Board of Directors, they are certainly some great reasons. Whatever your reason may be, contact your Board of Directors or Management Company and volunteer to give back to your community. Willing volunteers are always needed and appreciated.
So we ask you, what's your reason for volunteering for your Community Association? We look forward to your response and comments.
