The no action committee
The act confers decision making power to elected members of the committee. In my experience, most owners do not want the burden of being on the committee. Too political; too time consuming: I don’t have time; Don’t want responsibility
All excuses I hear.
The committee then is often saddled with unqualified people or disinterested people (who just want a title).
It’s no use sitting on the sideline and complaining if you yourself won’t get onto the committee . And I can tell you in most buildings its not that hard because there are less takers than positions.
Once you’re on the inside you can see what’s happening and start to effect some changes. It takes time.
I had an issue with my building that took 3 years to finally get resolved in my favour.
And finally. To break the status quo, there needs to be an agent of change. That person does not need to be the chairman. If you are passionate and influential, you can persuade, over time, the majority of the committee to see your way.
