We understand the need for onsite staffing. We use our expertise to provide each association with the best candidates to complement their HOA/COA needs. We can either provide one of our own employees, help the board of directors select a suitable candidate, or handle the screening and placement for the association. FINANCIAL PLANNING In addition to the typical monthly reports, Southern States Management Group’s team members are highly knowledgeable in developing dynamic forecasting models. These are used to simulate the impact of potential risks on the financial operations of an association. No matter if these risks occur today, tomorrow or in the future. STRATEGIC & CAPITAL PLANNING The sustainability of an Association requires strategic planning to ensure years of opportunity.

Crystal Anderson- Opus Condominium Treasure Testimonial for SSMG and Lisa Campbell, Ocean Six has now been with SSMG for 3 years. We have found them and our CAM, Lisa Campbell, to be immediately responsive to our every need. Their Accounting practices are sound, accurate, and on time. The advice we receive is accurate and swift when summoned. We have representation present at all of our Board meetings. Lisa Campbell makes herself available to answer all questions regarding Condo business. To summarize, I cannot imagine that there is another Management company that could do a better job for Ocean Six than SSMG. Larry Dillon President Ocean Six Condominium Association Lisa Campbell has been there for me with direction and advice. This past weekend a unit owner had an emergency leak and I contacted Lisa, and she very quickly, made arrangements to help me and the unit owner try to solve the problem, even being out of town, she helped get me through it. Anything I’ve asked for I’ve received with kindness and understanding. SSMG has been a tremendous partner, so far as I’m concerned, to help MP move forward. ​ Thanks, Pat Jablonski- president MPA To whom it may concern: I am writing this to provide a written reference with respect to the service we have received from Southern States Management Group Inc. As a current board member serving as Vice President of Opus Condominiums please let me say I am very happy with the success we have had with SSMG. There are numerous projects that Mark Annon has seen through from start to finish. A few examples would be the swimming pool and hot tub refurbishing, the lawsuit, refurbishing the owner’s lounge, the new fire detection system just to name a few. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a management company to seriously consider using Southern States Management Group Inc. ​ Best Regards, Gary D Orner, VP Opus Condominiums TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, A BIG THANK YOU As a disabled senior widow I get upset with my inability to handle problems at times. A huge thank you to Karen for taking the time to figure out I had written my bank account number too close to the bottom line thus making it appear to be a different number causing the bank to return to your offices. She said she checked against my void check I had enclosed and caught my error, I had checked but missed it. Her phone message about locating the problem and fixing it. Said she would put back through for the auto draw at Regions and remove finance charge. I can not thank her enough for her professionalism and caring. Your organization is fortunate to have such fine employees, I look forward to your handling of our HOA. ​ Sincerely, Norajane Gillespie I’d like to recognize the excellent service, support and advice provided to the Pine Valley Condo Association by Southern States Management Group and in particular, Peggy Komishock, our Association Manager. Peggy stays on top of any issues we have, is responsive to owners and the Board of Directors. Peggy and Jeff Annon bring a lot of practical experience to the day to day issues that arise and provide education resources to the Board in the fulfillment of their responsibilities. We are happy to continue a long association with SSMG now and in the future. ​ Eric Melanson Pine Valley Board of Directors Southern States Management Group has been our Association Management company for about 9 years and they have been a great association management company. Their staff is professional and knowledgeable. ​ Mark H. Rakowski Pine Valley Condominium Association President As a board member of an HOA that uses SSMG, I can say I am happy with their services. I am also an accountant at a CPA firm and have found that their services have provided a much greater value with more accurate financial statements then most CAMs that have come across my desk. They follow board instructions and have been very responsive in my experience working with them this past year. As a relatively new HOA President, Southern States Management Group has helped immensely with managing our condo building and property. They are enormously helpful with finding and managing our vendors and are very responsive to our questions and problems. I am quite positive in working with SSMG, and in particular Peggy and Stayce in actg. We appreciate your advice on matters concerning condo assoc. mgt. and in timely financial information. Thank you and look forward to a continued good working relationship. I have worked with Lisa going on 3 years as the President of the Broadwater HOA located in Ormond Beach, Fl. In the past we have dealt with other management groups that made life difficult for me as well as our community. I will say that Lisa is by far the best manager I have ever dealt with from an HOA management standpoint. She has an “A” type personality. She gets things done and gets them done accurate and fast. She is smart and always looking out for our community. If she were not involved in the Broadwater HOA I don’t know if I would of stayed on as President of the HOA. She makes my Presidency easy. I consider Lisa not only a business partner but a friend. Hopefully she stays on managing our HOA for years to come. ​ Jason Collins Broadwater HOA- President

VENDORS FAQ Vendors Board Members Employees Owners/ Residents What are the main HOA Board officer positions? The main Board officer positions include President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary. What does an HOA Board President do? The president leads the Board and is responsible for overseeing and handling many of its procedural duties. In order to succeed in this role, the Board president must be knowledgeable about the community’s CC&Rs and governing documents and understand how to run an effective meeting. He or she serves as the authority on all association rules and governing documents, and appoints committees if dictated by the bylaws. The president also leads community and association meetings, handling such responsibilities as calling the meeting to order, announcing the agenda and ensuring adherence, maintaining attendee order and decorum, proposing questions, calling for votes and announcing the results, and recognizing others to speak on the floor. What does an HOA Board Vice-President do? The Board vice president shares many of the leadership and procedural duties with the president, including assuming the leadership role when the president is unable to do so. The vice president’s responsibilities include ensuring order is maintained during meetings and parliamentary procedures, ensuring a smooth flow of business and serving as an informed source about association rules, bylaws and governing documents. What does a Board Treasurer do? The Board treasurer is responsible for the association’s funds, securities and financial records. He or she oversees billing, collections and disbursement of funds, and coordinates the development of the association’s proposed annual operating budget and reserve allocations. In addition, the treasurer is responsible for monitoring the budget and reporting on the association’s financial status throughout the year, as well as for overseeing year-end reporting and any required audits. In self-managed communities, in which many of the day-to-day financial responsibilities are handled by a property management company, the treasurer is responsible for ensuring that all association funds are collected, disbursed, invested and reported accurately and remain in compliance at all times with the association’s by-laws and governing documents. What does a Board Secretary do? The HOA secretary maintains the association’s meeting minutes and official records, reviewing and updating documents as required and ensuring they are stored safely and accessible to association members. He or she is responsible for providing proper notice of meetings, as well as distributing documents, such as official records, agendas and meeting minutes, on a timely basis to association members and/or their authorized representatives. In addition, as the custodian of the association’s official records and documents, the secretary ensures the association meets all legal documentation requirements, such as annual filing deadlines. How are Board members elected? Corporations, community associations and HOAs need strong leadership to make decisions and direct their operations. These leadership roles are fulfilled by Board members and officers. To ensure the community’s ongoing success, it’s important to continually bring in new leadership, and most associations hold Board elections every few years, usually during the annual meeting. While the procedures and rules governing Board elections vary by both state laws and the association’s by-laws, nearly all include providing all eligible homeowners who wish to stand for election an equal opportunity to run, properly notifying all homeowners in advance about the time, date and location of the upcoming election, and ensuring the voting process remains anonymous and private. Homeowners may vote for Board members in three ways – by attending and casting their votes at the meeting, by mailing their votes before the election is held, or by voting by proxy, which involves allowing another member to attend the meeting and vote on their behalf.

Verdego Yellowstone Landscape Being a HOA board member can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, but it is not without its challenges. Often many board members don’t realize exactly what they have volunteered for. It’s often said that being an association board member is the only job that you’ll ever have that has no formal education requirements for obtaining a position and has no built-in training program to help you learn as you go! Southern States offers quarterly training sessions for HOA board education. Our training sessions will increase board members’ knowledge base so that they can make vital, informed decisions for the betterment of the community. A senior property manager will be assigned to your community to conduct HOA property management education. We also invite professionals from other fields, including attorneys and CPAs, to help lead the training sessions. To be an effective board member, it's crucial to understand the concept and structure of a homeowners' association (HOA). In general, an HOA is a nonprofit organization set up to help run, manage, and maintain a neighborhood, building, or another collective of homes. People who belong to an HOA pay annual or monthly dues, which the HOA uses to maintain shared spaces and carry out other association duties, like rules enforcement, meeting management, and financial planning. An elected board of volunteers runs the HOA on behalf of all homeowners. ​ Our board education sessions cover the following areas: ​ Basics of a Homeowner’s Association Role and Duties of the Board Role and Duties of the Management Company Basic Financial Management for Associations Fiduciary Responsibility and the Business Judgment Rule Legislative Updates LOOKING FOR COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT OPTIONS?
