Meeting Follow - Ups

In January, we were joined by Leah K. Burton, Esq. of Steptoe & Johnson, PLLC where she presented on the important topic of “Tackling Mental Health Issues in community Associations.”

Leah K. Burton is a Member of Steptoe & Johnson PLLC’s Dallas Office, and currently serving on the DFW CAI Chapter Board of Directors. She serves as general counsel to property owners’ associations, including but not limited to single-family communities, masterplanned developments, condominium regimes and cooperatives in all aspects of corporate governance, including governing document creation, amendment and interpretation, contract review, collection of delinquent assessments, restrictive covenant enforcement, alternative dispute resolution and federal and state law compliance.

In February, we hosted our first breakfast meeting of the year, where we hosted a panel style presentation featuring some of our local chapter business partners. David Brantley (Southern Botanical) and Wes Rivers (Treenewal, LLC) teamed up to discuss “Why Being Proactive Instead of Reactive is the Most Cost-Effective Path for HOA Tree Management.” Their presentation led to a lively question and answer session that really engaged attendees. We are excited to continue offering this breakfast meeting and will host a similar format later this year in June and September.

And in March, we were joined by Russ Riddle - “Anomaly At Law!” His presentation focused on the topic of “Magnetic Communication” and made people ask themselves – “Am I Attracting, or Repelling my Audience?” His unique combination of humor and talent was well-received by our audience, and was a great way to wrap up our first quarter of education.
