Posting Announcements

Board announcements are visible to all residents in the portal. Use them to share community news, maintenance notices, meeting reminders, and important updates.

Creating an announcement

1. Go to Announcements → New Post
2. Enter a Title — keep it short and specific (e.g., "Pool Closed May 12–14 for Maintenance")
3. Select the Author — your name or role (e.g., Board of Directors, Grounds Committee)
4. Write the announcement body — use plain language; avoid jargon
5. Click Publish

The announcement is live immediately and visible to all residents logged into the portal.

Email notification

When you publish an announcement, residents who have opted in to email notifications will receive an email summary with the announcement title and a link to the portal.

Editing a published announcement

1. Go to Announcements in the board interface
2. Find the post and click Edit
3. Make changes and click Update

Edits are reflected immediately. Residents who already received an email notification will not be re-notified.

Deleting an announcement

1. Find the post and click Delete
2. Confirm the deletion

Deletion is permanent.

Best practices

• Be timely — Post maintenance notices at least 48–72 hours in advance when possible
• Be specific — Include dates, times, and locations
• Be brief — Residents are more likely to read shorter posts
• Spell out acronyms — Not everyone knows HOA terminology
• Avoid legal language — Reserve formal notices for written/mailed communications when required by your CC&Rs
