RMWBH Shareholders Cliff Davis and Noelle Hicks had a great time this morning at PMG Houston’s vendor speed networking event. Thank you to the PMG Houston team for the invitation and all of the community managers who stopped by to say hello and learn more about the services RMWBH provides its community association clients.

CTA UPDATE: CAI’s pursuit of a preliminary injunction to postpone the deadline for POAs to comply with the Corporate Transparency Act has been denied. What does this mean for me as a board member? Subject to certain limited exceptions, this means that all POAs will continue to have to comply with the CTA and report their “beneficial owner” information. For POAs, beneficial owners are the board of directors. The deadline to file for POAs formed before January 1, 2024, remains January 1, 2025. POAs should work with their management companies and/or legal counsel to ensure the filing process is done correctly. For more details on what POAs and their board members are required to report, please click this link: https://lnkd.in/gCS6NKwR

Look over the skies of San Antonio. You’ll see distant views of the Texas Hill Country, wafts of smoke from fajitas on the grill and BBQ smoking at the various restaurants around town, but what you will not see is a signal calling on your neighborhood POA attorney to save the day in a community near you. However, San Antonio does have a local POA attorney ready to fight for the needs of the communities he serves, and he does not need an elaborate disguise or alter ego. His name is Paul Gaines.

Thank you to everyone who came out to yesterday’s Legal Seminar hosted by Greater Houston Chapter of Community Associations Institute. It was a fun filled afternoon of legal education for Houston area community managers and board members. Our own Sipra Boyd presented “The Evolution of Community Associations in the Digital Era of Free Speech.” Sipra and the rest of the RMWBH team look forward to seeing everyone again at a future CAI event. 

Members of the RMWBH team had a great time, last Friday, getting glammed up like classic Hollywood stars and celebrating the firm being named to the Houston Business Journal’s Best Places to Work list. RMWBH was honored at the HBJ’s annual luncheon where HR Director Sara Urias accepted the award on behalf of the firm. The firm was named to the list based on the results of an independent survey conducted by the HBJ of RMWBH employees. Thank you to our employees who make RMWBH the company that it is! We look forward to continuing as one of Houston’s best places to work for years to come.
