Majority always rules; except that time when the majority did not show up. It is a prevalent issue amongst Owners Corporation managers to achieve a majority vote at annual general and special general meetings. A particular problem if that leaky roof needs to be repaired.
Tom Bacon, principle lawyer of Strata Title lawyers, has shared his “tips and tricks for getting more bums on seats…
- Announce the meeting date, time and location in as many forums as possible
- Strongly encourage owners to give proxies to committee members or friends if they cannot attend
- Schedule meetings for a time when people are most likely to attend
- Publish an end time to the meeting and stick to it
- Leave general business items for the end of the meeting
- Plan a publicise a social event before or after the meeting and include food and drink
- Give away door prizes or a raffle
- Arrange for guest speakers such as local MPs, lawyers and architects
- Acknowledge and thank all of the volunteer work that committee members have made”
