Upcoming HOA Education Programs

Oct 14 - Creating Functional Boards - FREE
If everyone on your board is rowing in the same direction you could accomplish so much. But, because boards involve people and people are imperfect, boards are inherently dysfunctional. During this hands-on session, we'll explore the 5 phases of board development and how to manage them to increase functionality. We'll also help you understand and communicate with difficult people - bullies, wallflowers and chronic complainers - in order to improve your board's functionality

Community Dialogue - October 16

Looking for an opportunity to share your experiences of living in a Fort Collins neighborhood? Colorado State University Off-Campus Student Services and the City of Fort Collins Neighborhood Services Office are teaming up to host a community dialogue and are looking for participation from students and long-term residents.

Colorado State University is a vital part of Fort Collins, bringing economic benefits, cultural opportunities, and an ever-changing energy to the community. However, with differences in lifestyles between students and non-student residents, the City and University know there is potential for conflict and tension in our neighborhoods.

City of Fort Collins ImageHow Do You Say It?
Have you ever had a neighbor with a barking dog? Or a noisy house on your block? And did you wonder how you might best convey this information to those neighbors? Neighborhood Services is offering up a few "template letters" to help neighbors deal with sticky situations. You can use these letters and fill in your own specifics. Even if you don't want to send a letter, these may give you some ideas on how to approach a neighbor and start a conversation. We have also included a "Welcome Letter" that may help break the ice as you meet and greet new neighbors!
