Great guide put together by CAI on all things reserves. It covers everything from the various state laws, the updated reserve study standards, Reserve Study Best Practices Report, among other topics. I usually try to point out that reserves aren't complicated, but at the same time there are a lot of details and aspects to a thorough reserve study, ensuring regulatory compliance, and leveraging a reserve study to maximize value. If you don't want to read all 80 pages 😲 then reach out to Reserve Advisors, LLC (Reserve Studies, Insurance Appraisals). We're always conducting continuing education courses to help teach to and your team the right steps when it comes to reserves 📊

A reserve fund sets aside money for covering routine and unscheduled repairs and fund future capital expenditures in a community. Part of being an association manager is to educate our Boards and keep HOAs up to date with new rules and regulations. #associations #boardmembers #educateandempower `#associationmanagement

At this past Internet Identity Workshop, one of my favorite sessions titled "Enshittification," which was hosted by Wendy Seltzer, inspired much lively discussion and debate. Little did I know that Enshittification was voted Word of the Year for 2023 by the American Dialect Society (see below graphic). For those who don't know the official definition, here it is: Enshittification: the pattern of decreasing quality observed in online services and products. When platform decay is in a state of observable and irretrievable entropy, the benefit of convenience is lost to a horrible user experience, plus getting your data taken in perpetuity! Here's the video of the actual vote taking place: https://lnkd.in/gtzHJMSV

New! This week researchers at the University of Southern California and Stanford University launched the Segregation Explorer, an interactive website providing data on segregation trends and patterns across the United States. With the interactive map, you can visualize racial and economic school segregation in U.S. states, counties, metropolitan areas, and school districts from 1991 to 2022. A powerful data visualization tool, the Segregation Explorer can help us understand the impact of structural racism on residential and school segregation. With this understanding and data, we can work to ensure all our children have equal educational opportunities that allow them to thrive.
