"This title is designed as an information resource and practical guide to problem-solving for those living in a gated-community or association structure. The information is presented in four sections: the actual structure of an association; legal issues that confront an association; working with others in your community and the association; and effective management of the association. The title begins with "25 Questions All Homeowners Should Ask about Their Community," and continues with valuable information. Included are checklists that can be used when evaluating an association, questions that can be asked regarding the development and running of the association, sample letters and notices that can be used by the reader"s own association and a sample orientation manual to get the association off on the right foot. Additional appendices include an Orientation Guide for Board Members; an Orientation Guide for Board Directors; and a complete, up-to-date resource section. "
