Definition
The lead officer of the HOA board, responsible for running meetings, guiding the board, and often acting as its main point of contact.
The president is the board's chief officer. They typically set and run meeting agendas, act as the primary liaison with the manager or vendors, and provide overall leadership — but they are one vote among the directors, not a solo decision-maker.
A good president keeps meetings focused, ensures the board follows its governing documents, and helps the board act as a cohesive body. The specific duties are defined in the bylaws.
