Whilst I am sure there are plenty of power hungry EC’s out there, there are also plenty that work tirelessly looking after buildings on behalf of ungrateful and sometimes abusive owners. … I have been on the EC for the past 5 years and have been trying to get off but there is no one that will step up and take on the role. Why would they when its a thankless, frustrating and relentlessly demanding position???
A few years ago, when our EC was getting much grief for doing the good things, our strata manager suggested we all just not stand. The consequence would be that every decision would require a general meeting and her fees would be higher. I’m sure she was not angling for a higher fee. She was just suggesting this is what it might take to make people wake up to the good work being done by the EC.
In the end we stayed on and achieved some good things and the whingers and nay-sayers have gradually lost credibility with the owners who previously listened to them.
