Meet with your peers at an Echo organized resource panel!

Heritage Bank of Commerce

Come and reconnect with your peers and attend the upcoming in-person meeting of The South Bay Resource Panel. The event will be held in a casual atmosphere to enable homeowners, board members, managers, and other professionals to hear about important topics presented by experts in the HOA industry.

Presentation:Beyond the Turf Ban: Turning AB 1572 Law on Potable Water &amp; Nonfunctional Turf into Community Win!Speaker: Jamie Clark | K&amp;D Landscaping, Inc. Join us for a practical, fast-paced session unpacking California’s new AB 1572 law on Potable Water &amp; Nonfunctional Turf with Jamie Clark, Business Development Manager with K&amp;D Landscaping, and how HOAs can stay compliant without losing beauty or budget balance. Jamie will break down what the law actually bans—potable watering of “nonfunctional turf”—and what’s still allowed, including true community and recreation spaces, to help you cut through the noise. You’ll learn how the phased statewide rollout impacts HOA common areas and what boards should do in the next 12 months to stay ahead. We’ll also explore how to transform “decorative lawns” into loved, functional spaces through smart design moves that boost both curb appeal and compliance. Our discussion will cover what enforcement and self-certification are likely to look like, along with a simple, board-ready checklist to help you avoid fines while keeping residents happy. ​ Finally, we’ll highlight the funding and ROI opportunities—how rebates and water-use reductions can offset conversion costs, turning this new mandate into a true community and budget win.

Our panels are offered in a casual atmosphere to enable board members, homeowners, managers, and other professionals to hear about important topics presented by experts in the industry, and share experiences and issues. Come and connect with your peers and attend the next lunch meeting of the South Bay Resource Panel.
