Live in an HOA? ECHO is for you.
California homeowner associations face rising delinquencies, assessment defaults, and complicated laws. With no state-level help, associations need an organization that represents them: the homeowners. ECHO is the only California non-profit dedicated to educating and advocating on behalf of California HOAs.
Education. We publish articles by industry experts, and host frequent educational seminars.
Advocacy. We lobby to improve the laws that govern your HOA, and to limit the damage from pending legislation.
Support. We talk to our members about problems in their HOAs, and provide articles and tips to get them through tough situations.
Our 1400 member associations already appreciate our outstanding resources. Not a member of ECHO? Read more about what we offer to homeowner associations, and consider becoming a member today.

Top Traits of Great Boards
Over the past 20 years, I have worked with many, many boards of directors: As a manager, as a consultant and as a member of the board. And as we all—managers and board members alike—know, some boards are just better than others at administrating their community and effectively achieving their goals and objectives (their agenda) with grace, dignity, professionalism and humor. These boards are a pleasure with which to work or on which to serve.
So, what differentiates a great board from just an OK board? Great boards develop, maintain and value their credibility and their integrity.
