The topics are timely, the advice is free—and it’s all done with a personal touch. Hang up the phone, close the laptop. Come get  the latest information about community association operations at the 2012 New  England Condo Expo !  

 The Expo, running from 10 am to 5 pm on Tuesday, May 22 at the Seaport World  Trade Center in Boston, is an information-packed day … and best of all, it’s free. There’s no admission charge; simply register online at www.ne-expo.com to take  advantage of a day filled with seminars, free advice booths, and a trade show  featuring all the goods and services your association needs.  

 Seminar topics this year include a look at the legal aspects of foreclosure; how  managers and boards can work together efficiently; how to conduct effective  meetings; and how to handle conflict within an association. The speakers, as  always, are among the leaders in the New England condominium industry—people who know the ins-and-outs of community association operations—who are willing to share their expertise and answer your questions.  

 You’ll also find free advice about management, insurance, legal issues, maintenance  and more—offered on a one-to-one basis. Plan to sit down with these experts to explore  ways of solving your association’s most vexing problems.  

 And if your association needs services—and what association doesn’t?—you can meet the professionals who provide everything from paving to painting  and pest control in the Expo’s trade show aisles. Attorneys, managers, accountants, insurance professionals—whatever your association’s needs, the Expo provides an opportunity to speak face-to-face with people who  understand condominiums.  

 Trustees and board members, take note! You could also become a hero at your  association by winning $2,500 for your community! The $2,500 Reserve Fund  drawing is open to all trustees and board members attending the Expo, so round  up your colleagues and plan to spend a day, gathering information and  education, on May 22 at the Seaport World Trade Center.
