By law, condo association executive boards (legally, the “unit owners’ association”) meetings must be held at least once per year. The secretary or another executive board member must post a meeting notice no fewer than 10 days prior and no more than 60 days prior. Notices can be sent by mail or hand delivered.
As a unit owner, you have the right to speak at an association meeting. However, you may wish to approach board officers in advance of the meeting to discuss your thoughts.
Associations cannot hold "secret" meetings or no meetings at all under Connecticut law. The condo association board must meet at least once per year. Under amendments to COIA adopted in 2009, board members may never meet in secret, and social gatherings at which board members are present do not count as board meetings. Even if board members wish to meet by phone, which they may, access to the call must be made available to all unit owners. In fact, board members must provide instructions as to how to participate in the meeting if it is by phone.
