Susan Feels Really Peeved Over Abuse

Just a reminder that I haven’t attended any Association Board meetings as of August 2024. These meetings occurred before I was even aware of the discussions taking place among the Board of Directors, Property Management, and any property owners who bravely voiced their concerns about the unethical practices of the Association.

We will start with the August 19, 2024 meeting.

Regardless of Mr. Hooper’s personal sentiments regarding racism or bigotry, it is inappropriate for him to express them during an Association Board meeting in his capacity as President.

Why is the community constantly in conflict? The issues occurring within the community are a direct consequence of its leadership. Rather than reflecting on your own actions and considering what you, as elected leaders, can do to effect change, you choose to blame any member who dares to highlight the hypocrisy, discrimination, bigotry, potential racism, and unethical behavior. Such individuals are branded as “troublemakers” or “problem owners” for expressing valid concerns. Instead of taking corrective measures and striving to enhance communication with the community, you resort to suppressing their voices beneath layers of bureaucracy and control.

Mr. Hooper’s labeling of owners who voice their concerns about the current operations is indeed questionable. Referring to it as “Facebook mentality” or describing it as a “complaining place” is concerning. As the President of the Board of Directors, it is your responsibility to listen to the members and address their issues, even if you perceive their feedback as mere “complaining”. Your conduct and treatment of owners who do not align with your every idea and decision reflect an authoritarian approach, akin to that of a dictator, rather than that of a community leader striving to promote open communication.

The lack of committees that involve members is yet another area of concern. If committee operations are so burdensome, why not seek volunteers from the community? I have observed many members expressing a wish to participate in committees, yet this Board of Directors consistently declines to establish any committees that permit community input and engagement. They seem intent on maintaining complete control!

I believe the primary concern Mr. Hooper possesses is the fear of being uncovered. This is the reason there has been minimal effort to engage our approximately 2,000 members. If all those individuals had been paying attention, I am convinced we would have undoubtedly faced repercussions by now.

In the upcoming post, I will analyze certain aspects of the September 2024 meeting that were not addressed in the Flock Cameras post.
