Every condo comes with challenges for board members and managers alike. How do  you find the right professional for each job that needs to be done? How do you  keep the property looking sharp when finances are tight?

 And how do you deal with complaints about creepy crawly pests, annoying  neighbors, and unpopular rules? Whether you’ve just taken a seat on your condominium board, or are an old hand at  association leadership, you’re bound to find yourself with more questions than answers.  

 Where to Turn?

 Where do you turn for solutions to all your quandaries—without breaking the bank on legal fees?  

 Fortunately for New England board members, managers and homeowners, the answers  to many condominium questions can be found in one place, on one day, under one  roof. Mark your calendars now for this not-to-missed event: The New England  Condo Expo returns to Boston’s Seaport World Trade Center on Tuesday, May 21, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  

 It’s a day jam-packed with seminars, exhibits, networking and free advice dispensed  by leaders in the region’s condominium association industry. Attorneys, accountants, insurance agents,  managers and more will be standing by to answer your most pressing questions at  the Expo’s “free advice” booths. Seminars running throughout the day will bring you up-to-date  information on management, legal, financial and other hot-button issues.  

 The Expo is a must-attend event for the tri-state area’s property managers, board members, and unit owners. Anyone involved in the  day-to-day administration of an HOA, condo, or co-op will benefit from a visit  to the show—as will building owners, managers, and anyone considering joining their board,  or taking an active interest in how their community is run.  

 The Expo runs from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on May 21, so plan to arrive early and  take advantage of a full day of free seminars, free advice — and even free admission!  

 Free Money

 Trustees and board members will have the opportunity, too, to win a cool $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 21 at the Seaport World  Trade Center. The winner will be drawn at random after registration has closed, and a check for the winnings will be made payable to the winner’s association, care of their management company. Only board members qualify to  enter the reserve fund drawing, and attendance at the Expo is required for eligibility. For complete details on how to enter the reserve fund drawing, visit the Expo website, www.ne-expo.com. Many other  valuable door prizes will also be awarded throughout the day.
