When you answer the exam questions you take the point of view of a CSE unless otherwise specified. An association executive has to provide guidance and leadership to the board of directors. He/she has to implement decisions made by the board and oversee the "day to day" operations within the parameters established by the board of directors. He/she must follow the guidelines of all federal & state laws, community documents and board direction, and must maintain a successful and long-lasting working relationship with the board and other members of the association.
