Board Certification

This course takes place the 2nd Monday of every month. The course is sponsored and held at the offices of Royale Management Services, Inc. located at 2319 N Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale FL 33311.

This is a hands on class that will help you understand: the basics of how to keep yourself and your association out of trouble, what’s legal and what’s not, what it means to be a fiduciary, how boards should function, what records must be kept, what kind of financial information you should get, how to use that information and much more.  We take a managers approach to getting things done, avoiding problems and protecting both the integrity of the association and that of the board. Best of all we will provide plenty of time for questions and examples.

For Reservations call 954-563-1269 between 9AM and 5PM Monday through Friday.  Seating is limited so make your reservations early.

This class meets the Florida state requirements for board certification and has been approved by The Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes. It meets the requirements Florida 718.112 for Condominium Association Board Members.

Board Members Courses:

Newly elected or appointed board members must sign a form, that provides that the board member has read the association’s governing documents, and that such board member will work to uphold such documents to the best of his or her ability.

Further, the board member must agree that he or she will faithfully discharge his or her fiduciary duty to the association’s members.

In lieu of signing this written certification, a newly elected or appointed director may instead provide a certificate demonstrating that they have satisfactorily completed an approved educational course.    

 Find Upcoming Board Member Courses on our Calendar on SFPMA.COM

A prospective board member can attend and complete such an educational course up to one year in advance of taking a seat on the board.

In the event that a board member fails to either complete an educational course or sign the required form within ninety days of their election or appointment to the board, such board member is suspended from service on the board until they complete the requirement.

SFPMA.COM has a full list of Courses that are offered by our members. View our Calendar of Events and keep informed. Take advantage of these required courses.
