Class Title: The Peak of Liability: Navigating Mountain Vendor Management & Board Pitfalls
Class Description: Mountain community associations face a perfect storm of challenges that flatland HOAs rarely encounter: extreme seasonal weather windows, severe regional labor shortages, informal contractor cultures, and intense board pressure to "just get it done." The result is a procurement environment where convenience routinely wins over compliance—and where the legal and financial consequences can be devastating.
