Question:
Suggestions on how to get the board to have public meetings with virtual instead of virtual only.
And, if our Property Manager doesn’t like what you say on our website, she deletes your post or blocks you. A lot of the deleted material is simply correcting her posts with wrong information.

Answer:
Hi Constance,
If your HOA is organized as a nonprofit, then the Alabama Nonprofit Corporation Law applies to you. Under this law, Section 10A-3-2.02(f) states the following: “Unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws require the meeting of members to be held at a place, the governing authority may determine that any meeting of the members shall not be held at any place and shall instead be held solely by means of remote communication, but only if the corporation implements the measures specified in subsection (e).”
As such, you should check your bylaws or other governing documents to see if they require your HOA to hold meetings at a specific place. Your bylaws should be able to enlighten you on what meetings are allowed.
As for your second question, if you are unsatisfied with the behavior of your property manager, it is best to raise your concern to the HOA board. The HOA board is responsible for monitoring the performance of the property manager and has the power to terminate or choose not to renew their contract. It is also a good idea to open a respectful discussion with the manager or the board about this issue.
