Breakfast Sponsors

Presenter: TBA | Papillon & Moyer

Winter weather presents unique challenges for large-scale communities, where safety, infrastructure preservation, and budget management must all work hand-in-hand. Join Papillon & Moyer Excavation & Paving, LLC as they shares lessons learned from years of winter operations. This session will explore effective snow removal strategies, emerging alternatives to traditional road salt, and the long-term impact winter maintenance practices can have on roads, drainage systems, and community infrastructure. Attendees will gain practical insights to help make informed decisions that balance safety, sustainability, and the longevity of their road networks. 

Breakout Session II: Planning for Capital Improvements in Aging Community Associations

Presenter: David Chesky, The Falcon Group

This session will cover the basics of capital reserve planning, with a focus on the needs of older communities. As buildings age, planning for repairs and replacements becomes more important to avoid unexpected costs and disruptions. We will walk through the reserve study process, including reviewing building components, assessing their condition, and developing a funding plan to help communities stay ahead of future expenses. The session will also include an overview of current Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements and how they are impacting reserve funding and lending eligibility for community associations.

Breakout Session I: How Changes to Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac Will Affect Your Association

Presenter: Mohammed Salyani, CPA, WilkinGuttenplan

This session will examine the new Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reserve guidelines and what they mean for community associations, Boards, managers, and unit owners. With reserve funding requirements increasing from 10% to 15% for applicable common interest developments, associations will need to take a closer look at their budgets, reserve studies, long-term funding plans, and overall financial readiness.

Attendees will learn:

• How the updated guidelines may affect lending eligibility and unit sales

• The impact of increased reserve funding requirements on budgeting and assessment planning

• The role reserve studies play in demonstrating financial stability

• Strategies and practical steps Boards and managers can take to prepare for future lender review requirements
