HOA meeting management software for self-managed boards
Most HOA boards run meetings from a draft in the secretary's email. Agendas get emailed around the day before. Minutes live in a Google Doc nobody can find. Votes aren't recorded anywhere. Hivepoint keeps meeting agendas, minutes, and votes in one place — not scattered across personal accounts.
How HOA meeting records usually go wrong
The pattern is nearly identical across self-managed HOAs:
The agenda is a Word doc in the secretary's Downloads folder
Shared by email the night before. Each board member has a different version. Nobody's sure which one was used at the meeting.
Minutes are drafted in a personal Google Doc
Or a Notes app. Or an email draft. The secretary transcribes from memory after the meeting. Approved at the next meeting — if anyone remembers.
Votes aren't formally recorded
"The motion passed" is the whole record. No vote count, no record of who abstained, no timestamp. Fine until a homeowner disputes a board decision and asks for the minutes.
New secretaries start from scratch
When the secretary rotates off, the new one inherits whatever they were willing to forward. Two years of meeting history lives in one person's personal account.
HOA meeting management in Hivepoint
- Agenda builder — Any board member can add items to the agenda before the meeting. The final agenda is the working document during the meeting — not a separate printout or email attachment.
- Minutes recorded in the meeting record — Minutes are entered directly in Hivepoint during or after the meeting — not in a separate document that has to be filed later. They stay with the agenda and vote record.
- Vote logging — Each agenda item can carry a formal vote: motion, who seconded, vote count, outcome. Timestamped and tied to the meeting record. Useful when a homeowner later disputes a board decision.
- Approval workflow — Draft minutes are approved at the next meeting. Once approved, they're marked final and can be published to the resident portal (Community Edition) or retrieved from the document library.
- Full meeting history — Every past meeting — agenda, minutes, votes — is stored in the community's Hivepoint account. Incoming board members see the full history from their first login.
- Meeting minutes in the document library — Approved minutes are automatically stored in the document library alongside governing documents. Residents can download them directly if you've marked them community-visible.
Let residents access approved minutes on demand
Community Edition adds a resident portal at your HOA's own domain. Mark approved meeting minutes as community-visible and residents can download them 24/7 — no email to the board required.
- Residents download approved minutes without contacting the board
- Board-only minutes (executive session) stay private — you control visibility
- Works on any device — phone, tablet, laptop
- Available at your HOA's own domain, not a shared platform URL

Common questions
Does Hivepoint help with HOA meeting agendas?
Yes. Board members build agendas inside Hivepoint before each meeting. Agenda items can be added by any board member with access, reviewed before the meeting, and used as the working document during the meeting itself. No more emailing a Word doc back and forth the day before.
How are meeting minutes recorded in Hivepoint?
Minutes are recorded directly in the meeting record in Hivepoint — not in a separate document that has to be emailed and stored later. Once approved by the board, minutes can be marked community-visible so residents can access them through the portal (Community Edition) or download them on request.
Can Hivepoint record board votes?
Yes. Each agenda item can have a vote attached — motion, seconds, vote count, and outcome are all logged in the meeting record. This matters for decisions that homeowners might later dispute: you have a timestamped record of what the board voted on and how.
Where do meeting records live — in the document library or separately?
Meeting records (agendas, minutes, votes) are in their own meeting section, but the final approved minutes are also stored in the document library for easy retrieval. Both are part of the same Hivepoint account — no separate system to check.
What happens to meeting records when a board member rotates off?
Nothing — they stay in Hivepoint. Because records live in the community's account rather than a board member's personal files or email drafts, incoming board members have full access to all past meeting records from day one. This is one of the most common board transition pain points Hivepoint solves.
Can residents access meeting minutes through Hivepoint?
Yes, with Community Edition. The resident portal lets homeowners download documents the board has marked community-visible — including approved meeting minutes. This eliminates the email from a homeowner asking for the minutes from six months ago.
