Generally, you are stuck with whoever the company gives you. However, in this instance, I would say the EC could point out the potential for the appearance of a conflict of interest and ask to have a different staff member appointed to manage your property. You could note that this would be in the interests of both the management company and the OC. It might be courteous to note that you do not suggest that the staff member has acted inappropriately or that you are dissatisfied with that person’s performance.
