We are the
Alliance of Brunswick County Property Owners Associations
The Alliance of Brunswick County Property Owner Associations, ABCPOA, is a non-partisan organization comprised of Brunswick County property/homeowner associations united by an interest in common issues. Formed in early 2000, the ABCPOA is dedicated to protecting homeowner rights and property values while assuring safe neighborhoods and advancing an ever improving quality of life for all residents of Brunswick County. The Alliance serves as a forum for informational exchange among members and cooperates with other “like-minded” organizations. Through a collaborative approach the Association supports sound organizational and management practices pursuant to their Covenants, Policies, and Practices in accordance with the statutory obligations under which they are organized.
The Association is “issued driven” and represents its members by developing and presenting positions regarding issues that are critical to the further development of Brunswick County, advocating for positions that enhance the quality of life for all residents of Brunswick County and monitoring the state and county legislative process and advocating in that regard when deemed appropriate and necessary.
The Association’s By-Laws state the goals of the ABCPOA:
- Providing a mechanism whereby Member’s Common interests are served through united communications, advocacy, public relations, and non-partisan political action:
- Providing a means of monitoring and evaluating the legislative, regulatory and administrative actions of the state, regional , county and local governing bodies;
- Actively promoting and encouraging all levels of government action that enhance property values, safety health and quality of life in member communities and throughout Brunswick County;
- Serving as a resource for governmental entities on proposed or needed legislation
The ABCPOA is governed by a Board of Directors with one Director representing each member property/homeowner association. An Executive Committee elected by the Board of Directors provides organizational structure.
The essential functions of the ABCPOA are met through standing committees and committees of an “ad hoc” nature that address emergent matters.
Association Member Support:
The ABCPOA believes that the objectives of the Association are best met by providing its membership with the most current and accurate information about the best practices of organizational management in the context of the statutory framework within which they exist. By providing training opportunities through a full day Forum Program, presentations on topics directly related to POA/HOA governance at scheduled meetings special programs, and in a workshop environments members become aware of general operational matters from guest speakers on such issues as legal representation, insurance, storm water management, etc.
A major focus of the ABCPOA is to provide member support and encourage dialogue on issues affecting our respective Associations. Through the interaction of Member Associations during meetings and via electronic communications a vibrant network for interclub dialogue provides the opportunity to inquire about current practices, issues and concerns among all active members.
Advocacy:
The ABCPOA currently includes in its membership twenty-six property/homeowner associations constituting significant portion of the population south-western Brunswick County. While the ABCPOA is a non-partisan organization its ability to meet its stated purpose of “Actively promoting and encouraging all levels of government action that enhance property values, safety, health and quality of life of members’…” is enhanced by the active engagement of its member associations and resident population.
On behalf of the ABCPOA I welcome you to our website and encourage any community leaders interested in having your HOA/POA becoming a member to contact us.
