Credit and Criminal Background Screening
Eligible candidates undergo credit and background screening.
Board Interviews and Selection
Candidates that meet salary, testing, and screening criteria are then presented to the Board. The Board receives test results, resumes, and letters of recommendation from former employers. The Board will meet the eligible manager(s) and ultimately decide the best fit for their community.
Onboarding – Vanguard provides an operational audit.
- Unlike a financial audit, all systems and operations performed by the association are scrutinized.
- Recommendations where appropriate will enhance efficiency and the quality of services. However, any changes to existing processes and procedures come with the approval of the board.
- The Manager, Staff, and Board approved volunteers are provided with initial and ongoing training on Vanguard software including the community website.
- Vanguard, not the Board, is responsible for ongoing supervision of the manager and staff.
