This is your first year as leader of your neighborhood board; lately, you have thought about
not continuing with this job because some of the residents have been calling you
constantly to complain about the cleanliness of the common areas, the lack of security,
and the poor lighting in the neighborhood.

You have been very patient and you are always willing to listen to your community, and as
such you have even received calls at dawn from complaining neighbors. As much as you
have tried to help and pay attention to them in a cordial way, you question whether
continuing with this commitment is worthwhile since you feel worn down.

You have always been aware of the responsibility that comes with living in a community
and, being a new neighborhood, it needs people who want to participate and be open-
minded like you.

My plan would be to hold a community meeting to address the main concerns of the
neighborhood. In this meeting I would then invite the community members to work
alongside the board to come up with solutions that are within the means of the overall
community and also satisfy the community members. The teamwork will include being
open to new ideas, being receptive to feedback, and encouraging everyone to use different
opinions as an opportunity to find a better solution for all.
