HOA Governance Through a Feminist Theory Lens
This session uses Feminist Theory as an analytical framework—not as advocacy or ideology. Feminist theory can be used to examine how institutions function, including how power is exercised, whose voices are heard, how labor is distributed, and how rules and control operate in real-world settings.
Homeowner associations are uniquely well suited for this discussion. As small, highly regulated institutions with significant emotional and operational demands, HOAs provide clear, practical examples of these dynamics at work.
The discussion will remain grounded in real HOA governance scenarios, with perspectives from legal, insurance, and management professionals. The goal is to provide language and insight that help boards and managers better understand governance challenges, reduce conflict, and manage risk more effectively.
No prior knowledge of feminist theory is required. The session is designed to be practical, accessible, and directly applicable to everyday association governance.

The Smart Manager’s Guide to Visibility, Credibility & Career Growth
Much of the work managers do is invisible — and invisible work rarely gets recognized, rewarded, or defended. This session breaks down exactly how community managers can promote themselves professionally, without bragging, oversharing, or sounding defensive. You’ll learn the subtle communication habits that build trust, the proof-assets that instantly showcase your value, and the internal strategies that help you stand out to both your management company and every board you serve.
We’ll cover how to highlight wins without sounding self-congratulatory, how to stay visible when things get quiet, and the right way to present yourself in meetings, emails, and project updates. Managers will leave with a simple visibility system they can use immediately — one that protects their reputation, elevates their credibility, and supports long-term career growth in the community association industry.
