The importance of attendance at meetings- particularly annual meetings- cannot be overstated. However, proxy forms and mailed out reminders do not seem to gin up attendance.
There are ways to increase attendance! Just like politicians use voter turnout techniques to increase their votes on Election Day, Boards of Directors can increase community involvement and attendance.
A few ideas to get the community involvement juices' flowing:
Encourage internal motivation
Explain the purpose and community goals behind individual projects and meetings
Enhance the attractions and minimize the drags of getting involved
Focus on the importance of the subject
Incorporate homeowner experiences
Keep meeting topics relevant
Create an environment where residents want to participate
Create community traditions
Give praise and accept feedback
