A first-time attendee comes to a chapter event. She seems interested, but then POOF! She never reappears. Why do some new members, first-time attendees, and new online community members stop engaging so quickly? Maybe because a crucial link in the engagement chain broke. Engagement isnt a once-and-done event. Joining, registering, or logging in isnt engagement.

Is it fair to say were living in uncertain times? I definitely think it is. And when times are uncertain, I believe the best advice is: Follow Your North Star. The North Star (also known as Polaris if youre a trivia junkie), is a star located in the Northern Hemisphere that is almost directly aligned with Earths rotational axis. This makes it appear stationary in the sky while other stars appear to rotate around it.

Senate Bill 378, recently passed by the North Carolina Senate, contains a provision that could unintentionally cause enormous financial harm to North Carolina’s 15,000+ homeowner and condominium associations.

The end of Warren Buffetts tenure shows that succession isnt about what CEO candidates have done, but where they want to go. Earlier this month, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett dropped some surprising (but not) news: At 94, he had decided to step down from a role hes had since 1970. Replacing somebody whos been in the corner office since Nixons first term is a tall order, especially when the company is already recognized as a model for sensible, steady growth.

Living in an HOA community can come with great benefits like well-maintained amenities and neighborhood events, but it may also include absurd or unenforceable rules. Some HOA boards overstep their authority by violating legal boundaries or enforcing rules inconsistently, which can open them up to liability or lawsuits. Homeowners have rights protected by state and federal laws, such as the right to fair housing, privacy, and reasonable rule enforcement.
