Access Control — Here’s Where HOAs Get It Wrong

Gated communities. Key fobs. Call boxes. On paper, it all sounds secure—but many associations are far more exposed than they realize. YouTube: https://youtu.be/kGaplSFlrCA CEUS: You must watch on our GoToWebinar system. Go to www.AssociationHelpNow.com. Join us for a practical discussion featuring Tom Landry (SEC Protects), a 25-year federal law enforcement veteran who retired from the United States Secret Service in 2022. Tom served as Special Agent in Charge of the St. Louis Field Office and on the Presidential Protective Division under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, working in nearly fifty countries. He now helps organizations strengthen real-world security environments. Alongside Tom, an HOA attorney and insurance professional will connect **security breakdowns to legal and insurance risk**—because when access control fails, it quickly becomes a liability issue. We’ll cover how unauthorized entry actually happens—from shared fobs and propped doors to vendor access and outdated systems—and what boards and managers are expected to have in place when something goes wrong. **You’ll learn:** • Common access control mistakes HOAs are making • Where boards assume they’re protected—but aren’t • What attorneys and insurers look for a Dawn Becker-Durnin, CIRMS • Acrisure • dbecker-durnin@acrisure.com • www.acrisure.com Raymond Dickey • AssociationHelpNow.com • www.AssociationHelpNow.com John LaGumina, Esq. • The LaGumina Law Firm, PLLC • jlagumina@laguminalaw.com • www.laguminalaw.com Tom Landry • SEC Protects • tom.landry@secprotects.com • www.secprotects.com This content does not constitute professional advice.
