Transitioning To Neighborhood Association to Non-Profit or HOA

Below is the speech outline for the Toastmasters speech about the research that I had done about transitioning the neighborhood assocation to a neighborhood assocation or a homeowners assocation.

Speech Outline

• use porch lights to deter crime
• ADECA - Alabama Department of Econoic and Community Affairs
• grant existed but had to be non profit to qualify
• Neighborhood Services wants to assist all to become non-profits, we can do it ourselves
• I researched starting via the SOS website, found out about AL Homeowners Association Act of 2016
• same requirements as non-profit corporation and more
• contacted SOS office; couldn't advise on how to proceed, suggested to contact lawyer
• no records on file for association or anywhere else
• have to present to board and eventually members
• filing fees and others approximately $300
• considering filing as non-profit as other have already done

Feedback

• good at story telling
• good hand gestures
• volume
• adding a hook
• useful facts
• diverse topics (in regards to previous speeches given in the past)
• strength in delivery
• missed using the word of the day
