• Session 1: How the Champlain Towers South Tragedy will affect Reserve Studies 

  The collapse of a 40-yr old, 136-unit beachfront condominium building in Surfside, FL on June 24, 2021 was a human tragedy, taking 98 lives. But those people and their families are not the only ones affected. The entire Reserve Study profession will be different, because the consequences of underfunding Reserves now go far beyond unsightly deferred maintenance, unwanted special assessments, and lagging property values. As the provider of the association’s first credible Reserve Study for this association (delivered early 2020), join us in this session to hear how Reserve Study standards, legislation, and market forces are at work to change the Reserve Study profession.
