How to Survey Your Condo Association

About the Book A practical guide to surveying the membership of a condominium association, based on the author's experience in surveying his own. Condominium associations are expected to survey their members every two years. Often they have no particular expertise in doing this, and a rather amateurish job is done. Members who take their surveys complain of multiple-choice questions with no acceptable answers and others that fail to get at the important issues. Equally important, even if less apparent, are those methodological errors that may make the results misleading to the Board. This book is written to help the individuals writing the survey - whether neophytes or professionals whose specializations may be in other areas - avoid those errors. It gives practical advice based on the author's experience surveying the members of his own condominium owners association. Because it is based on experience, it covers areas that the author found important that are not usually presented in books of this nature. These include presenting your proposal to the Board, obtaining and maintaining the trust of the respondents, and analyzing the data with limited resources. The book is profusely illustrated and has an Index. Keywords: survey, condo, condominium association, how to.
