<p class="MsoNormal">I represent multiple homeowners associations both in PlaT communities as well as condominiums Although I represent the association my contact is usually with the manager of the association or it's designated representative contact as determined
by the board of directors so any time I got an inquiry from a member I would refer that inquiry to the board and or the manager for them to determine their response and clearly any e-mail between myself and the board or the manager are confidential and covered
by the attorney-client privilege and it can only be released to a member through the appropriate request for records to the board who can withhold communications with the associations attorney if appropriate under the attorney-client privilege exemption.<o:p></o:p></p>

of the Board. I don’t believe I have an obligation to honor that request. Seems to me members should request that information from the Board; not me. Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
