Short Takes - 10 Minute or Less Informational Videos
What is a CM Short Take? Glad you asked! It’s our complimentary 10 minute or less (excluding introduction and closing) informal discussion presented by one of our attorneys, staff members, or guest expert speakers from the community association industry. These pre-recorded Short Takes will include legal and practical non-legal topics for community associations’ board members, managers, committee members, and residents alike! Short and sweet.
Making their debut now are:
“All About Short Takes” with Arlene Ring, Director of Public Relations
“How to Read a Financial Statement” with guest community association expert - Bill Jackson, CPA
"Do or Die! - Failing to File Timely Corporate Report" with David Batan, Coordinator of Client Services
"Budgets and Reserve: Can I Be Honest?" with Matt Kuisle, Regional Executive Director of Reserve Advisors
"Title Searches - A Necessary Evil" with Senior & Founding Partner Ken Clayton
"Critical Elements of Turnover" with Senior & Founding Partner Neal McCulloh
Short Takes are offered on a complimentary basis, but voluntary donations of any amount to the Pet Drive are greatly appreciated by CM and the abandoned and abused pets of Florida.
There is an optional five easy peasey Survey you can take afterwards for which we will add your name to our monthly drawing for a gift card. And if you make a voluntary donation of any amount for our Pet Drive for the Short Take class you viewed, we will add your name in twice to the drawing!

Presented by Reserve Advisors, this video explains what you need to know about the new law.
