CHICAGO IL., (October 11, 2023): FirstService Residential, a leading property management company in Illinois is hosting its very first suburban Illinois Board Forum for condominium, townhome and homeowner association board members. The free event will take place Wednesday, November 8, 2023, from 5:30 p.m. – 8 p.m. at Eaglewood Resort, Itasca Illinois.  

The suburban Illinois Board Forum provides an opportunity for board members to learn how they can most effectively serve their community members and create engaging lifestyle programming to ensure an enriching environment for their communities. Attendees are invited to exchange ideas and share best practices with their peers and hear from industry experts covering topics such as legal, risk and insurance, and lifestyle programming.   

 “Providing our board members with educational opportunities that help them proactively lead their communities is our primary goal with hosting this board forum. We recognize the importance of establishing a true partnership with our board members.  We have found that one of the best ways to do that is to provide education, guidance, and share best practices across our client base.  No client should feel like they are reinventing the wheel, and we strongly believe that by sharing our knowledge our clients are better prepared to make informed decisions for the betterment of the communities in their care.” said Asa Sherwood, President Midwest FirstService Residential.   

Sean Gaynor, Director of Insurance, Midwest at FirstService Financial will be joined by Todd Harcharik, Director of Risk Management & Compliance, North Region along with a panel of lawyers comprised of Nicholas Bartzen, esq Bartzen Roselund Kasten, LLC, Joshua Weinstein, Kovitz Shifrin Nesbit, Elizabeth Thompson, counsel Saul Ewing, LLP and Gabriella Comstock, principal with Keough & Moody, P.C. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions to the legal panel, learn about HOA financials, the importance of reserve studies and more.
