Spring Notice for 2026 Annual Business Meeting and Elections in October

Our annual business meeting and election will be held in October across several weeks electronically, and we hope at one or more locations in-person. We’d like to use the event to rally last-minute opposition to the rent control ballot initiative, should it get that far, which would be voted on in November.

Our annual election is one of two necessary and wholesome democratic governance mechanisms. First, our ongoing Policy Priorities Survey helps us take positions on complex issues of public policy. Second, each year-end we hold our Annual Business Meeting and Annual Election, at which we elect a new director to the statewide Board of Directors.

We are a 501(c)(6) trade association. Together, we all own and run MassLandlords, Inc. Our mission is to create better rental housing in Massachusetts by helping current, new and prospective landlords run sustainable, compliant and quality businesses.

Individual volunteers are welcome to look at volunteer opportunities online. The best way to get involved is to be a regular event participant.

Regional boards of advisors help us to stay connected with local members, and advisors can help with planning events. Many events need help with setting up or tearing down.

Our statewide Board of Directors discusses operations, finances and political strategy. To run for election at the statewide level, nominate yourself or a friend. Some name recognition and history of contributions will be required to win. If you start now, you can build a reputation for productive contributions on the message boards, our members-only Facebook group and at local events.

We send this notice six months early so there is plenty of time before decisions are required. Let us know if you want to contribute or learn more! Contact us at 774-314-1896 or hello@masslandlords.net. Most importantly, volunteer to fight rent control.
