Welcome to our firm’s Live Virtual First Friday Event for the month of May 2026!
New Arizona case law is reshaping how HOA and condominium boards must conduct executive sessions. In this video, we break down the recent Arizona Court of Appeals ruling in AZNH Revocable Trust v. Sunland Springs Village Homeowners Association and explain what every board member, manager, and homeowner needs to know.
What You'll Learn:
Why boards can no longer vote in executive session
What topics are still permitted for closed-session discussion under A.R.S. § 33-1804(A) / § 33-1248(A)
How to properly structure executive and open meeting agendas
Sample agenda language your board can use immediately
Does SB 1290 in the Arizona Legislature matter?
If you serve on an Arizona HOA or condo board, this ruling impacts your meeting practices starting now. Make sure your board is compliant and protected.
