• Policy revisions in a pandemic

  Robert C. Harris Association Management

  Association policies are among the board's governing documents. Policies are the wisdom of a prior board adopted and passed on to successive directors.

A recent study shows that children carry high levels of the virus even without falling ill, which may impact the spread of the virus to others, especially those at high risk.
