Industry PERSPECTIVE OPEN FORUMS FOR OWNERS Our industry perspectives usually find opposing, or at least differing views on the topics we explore. Not so with this one. There wasn't much daylight between the attorney (Richard Brooks) and the association manager (Jared McNabb) who weighed in on the pros and cons of setting aside time for owners to speak during regular board meetings. Both recognized the concerns of critics who think owners should be seen but not heard at meetings, but they also agreed that the benefits for the board and for the community far outweigh any potential problems these open forums can create.
