Spring Notice for 2024 Annual Business Meeting and Elections: October instead of December

Following last year's bylaws change, we are advancing our annual business meeting and election from December to October. One reason why is to avoid year-end holiday schedule pressure. Also, we hope to preempt election fatigue in years like 2024.

Volunteers are recognized, appreciated and in a position to steer the ship. Join us! CC BY-SA 4 MassLandlords.

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 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.
