I’m not on the board, but I work with board members all the time. I’ve been doing this for over five years. And I feel like one of the things that I hear the most is getting the board to approve the use of the software.

00:14
So there’s a lot of older members within a community who might not have grown up with a website, technology scares them. And these are the people that are ultimately making the decisions for,

00:28
you know, moving the association forward. And just as a side note, I’m not, I don’t want this to come across as like, I’m bashing, you know, older people. But the reality is a lot of the members on the board are a little bit older.

00:40
They might be afraid of technology. And so when they think, what do we need a website for? How secure is it gonna be? Who am I giving my information to? Are they gonna sell my information to somebody else.

00:51
These are the things that they hear when thinking about bringing on software, and so it is the things that worry them. It’s the things that scare them. So getting the board to approve moving ahead with technology,

01:02
I think is definitely a huge and very large challenge that associations face. Now, in Florida, because the laws are changing over the next 12 months,

01:13
those fears aren’t going to be at the forefront so much because they’re going to be required to have a website. Whether or not they’re afraid of it, whether or not they think they need it,

01:24
they are required to have one. That being said, on the other side of it, our solution is very user -friendly. Our solution is created for people who are not developers. If there is an admin at the association who’s required to manage the content,

01:40
They don’t need to be a developer to do so. The tools are user -friendly. The technology side of it tends to be a very big burden to a lot of association members that we try and fix for them.
