      September 26: The role of the Strata Committee

      This seminar is geared towards Strata Committee members that may have less experience than other members, and would value greatly from additional insight into their roles, responsibilities and rights within strata management.

      Learning with a reputable and acclaimed strata management company will give you the security and confidence that the information provided is up to date, credible and relevant to your needs. Because we deal with Strata Committee members on a daily basis, we are in tune with the areas of concern, relevance and what would best empower our Strata Committee members to feel more confident in making decisions in their strata schemes.

      Topics in this seminar include:

      • Meeting conduct;
      • The duties and obligations of the Strata Committee;
      • The powers of the Owners Corporation;
      • The role of the Strata Managing Agent; and
