Managing Principal, Common Ground Solutions LLC. A credentialed community association manager with more than twelve years managing associations in Florida, Maryland and Virginia.
Board members run for election knowing they take on a fiduciary duty. What they rarely get is the support to discharge it well. That is the work: guiding the association so the board can show it did its due diligence, asked the right questions, and decided on the record.
Common Ground Solutions was formed in March 2026 and serves associations in Northern Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia from Alexandria, Virginia.
Communities bring diverse opinions and viewpoints. The job is to find the position the whole board can stand behind. Once it does, the board can empower the professionals it hired to carry it out.
We read first
No recommendation until we have studied the governing documents, the reserve study, board meeting minutes and any other records that bear on the issue the board is facing.
Professional guidance
Boards get recommendations grounded in industry best practices, with the reasoning documented.
Everything on the record
If it mattered enough to decide, it matters enough to document. We guide boards on parliamentary practice, can serve as parliamentarian, and help prepare clear minutes.
