					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Think about this&mdash;nearly two million American workers report having been victims of workplace
&nbsp;violence each year and, in the United States, fraud committed by employees cost
&nbsp;companies approximately $20 billion annually. Workplace theft tops out at more
&nbsp;than $120 billion annually.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;A co-op or condo community&rsquo;s annual meeting is just business, though these gatherings can sometimes be the
&nbsp;site of personal acrimony, or feuding between residents. But annual meetings
&nbsp;needn&rsquo;t be a source of friction, and can serve as a place where neighbors find
&nbsp;consensus. These gatherings also are mandated by law&mdash;co-ops, condominiums and homeowners&rsquo; associations are required to hold at least one unit owner or shareholder
&nbsp;meeting each year.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;You can&rsquo;t operate a condominium or co-op without a myriad of services, which is why a
&nbsp;well-run home association or building requires that it has strong vendor
&nbsp;relationships. That means getting supplies and services smoothly and at the
&nbsp;best price, which is why a board of directors or management company needs to
&nbsp;stay on top of its vendors and the contracts it holds with them.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;This in an anxious time in which to sit on the board of directors. With defaults
&nbsp;and foreclosures accounting for some 20 percent or more of the units at some
&nbsp;condominiums, frustration among board and association members is off the
&nbsp;charts.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The relationship between boards and management is by its nature complex. The two
&nbsp;sides rely upon one another to ensure the smooth oversight of their co-op and
&nbsp;condo communities. Both are dedicated to doing everything possible to create a
&nbsp;stable and welcoming environment for residents while at the same time, handling
&nbsp;the day-to-day and big picture aspects of management, from dealing with vendors
&nbsp;to ensuring a solid financial bottom line.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;It doesn&rsquo;t matter if you are managing a towering high-rise or a sprawling suburban
&nbsp;association, co-op and condo boards usually have their fair share of problems
&nbsp;to be solved and emergencies to be defused. Talk to enough people who have
&nbsp;dealt with these situations and they can tell you that it&rsquo;s no picnic&mdash;at times quarrels between neighbors can get ugly, and elected administrators
&nbsp;sometimes act selfishly instead of for the greater good.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;While the election format in a condominium community is pretty much the same as
&nbsp;for any other club or organization, property managers and board members are
&nbsp;looking to make the process easier and increase unit owner participation. Unit
&nbsp;owner participation, in particular, can be a challenge as some condos find it
&nbsp;hard to get enough members for a quorum at their annual meetings.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The sitting president of a Connecticut condo board recently approached the
&nbsp;property manager with a proposition: If he saw to it that her contractor
&nbsp;boyfriend was awarded certain jobs in the building, the property manager would
&nbsp;receive a tidy kickback. Ken Kohnle, working with Elite Property Management,
&nbsp;LLC, based in Farmington, Connecticut, ended the relationship with that
&nbsp;building. He said it was the &#8220;most shocking&#8221; of ethical breaches he&#8217;d seen in 22 years of business.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;New Jerseyans have the most of everything. The highest population density, the
&nbsp;densest system of highways and railroads, the most major shopping malls in a
&nbsp;25-mile radius, the most TV reality shows, and even the highest concentration
&nbsp;of 24-hour diners.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;When Mohammed Hameeduddin was elected Mayor of Teaneck last July, he became the
&nbsp;first Muslim mayor in Bergen County history. He won that seat by edging out
&nbsp;Deputy Mayor Lizette Parker, who had hoped to make similar history by becoming
&nbsp;the township&rsquo;s first female African-American mayor.
