The Secret to Getting a Quorum

Getting people to run for a co-op or condo board is harder than it sounds, and one Brooklyn condo's experience shows just how much a broken process can hold a building back. Corinne Arnold and Will Kwan, managing partners at EZ Election Solutions, talk about what it really takes to turn apathy into engagement, from the subtle red flags that make a candidate risky to the surprisingly simple fixes that get more people to step up. They also unpack why quorum trouble is rarely just about disinterest, and how the right systems can change that before a meeting even starts. Whether you've sat through an election that dragged on for weeks or wondered why your building's board always seems to have empty seats, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at what separates a smooth election from a stalled one. Habitat's Emily Myers conducts the interview. Thanks for listening.
