FAQ
Email Discussions Outside of Board Meetings are Permitted Although the Open Meeting Act prohibits the board from acting on items of Association business outside a board meeting…it does not prohibit the board from discussing the items outside a meeting.” (LNSU #1, LLC v. Alta Del Mar Coastal Community Assn (2023).)
Executive Sessions In executive sessions, the public is not allowed to attend or listen to the discussions, and the public body is not permitted to take final action. A.R.S. § 38-431.03(D). Members of the public body may not vote or take a poll in executive sessions.

Report on specific dialogue or personal opinions of what was said at the meeting. While some HOA Boards may be tempted to record this information in an effort to be transparent, this is a big no-no.

Email communications between board members are allowed, even if they discuss association business. The Court of Appeal addressed the issue in LNSU #1 v. Alta Del Mar Coastal Collection Cmty.

Plan and publicize a social event after or before the meeting and include food. Give away door prizes or conduct a raffle (vendors of the association may be willing to donate door prizes)
