The Board suggests that in such circumstances the emails clearly state that the email has been sent as an individual homeowner and not on behalf of the Board. Language such as "I am sending this email as an individual homeowner and not in my capacity as a Board member" is recommended." All Board Members voted unanimously to adopt this standard.
