We Want You!
You're committed to bettering our community, so why not put that passion to work and run for a spot on the association board.
The association will be holding elections at the annual meeting in March for board members, and we're looking for dedicated homeowners like you to help us shape and implement our governing rules, handle association finances, make important decisions that affect the entire community and much more. If you're interested in running for the board, please speak with a current board member or the management company to find out more information, including responsibilities of the open positions and how to get your name on the ballot.
Working on the board can be an enriching experience and can help you make lasting, positive changes to the community.

What Your Association Board Does For You
As a recognized homeowners association, our community has a board to help our HOA run smoothly. The board consists of volunteers who execute a wide variety of tasks you may not be aware of; however, their work affects every single resident.
One of the most important things the board does is create and enforce the association rules. While some residents may not like being told what they can and can't do, ultimately the board is looking out for the greater good. By enforcing the rules, the board is doing its best to keep property value up and conflicts down. Of course, the board wants to make sure the rules are beneficial for the majority - and hopefully all - residents.
Another major responsibility of the board is to collect assessments from homeowners. Collecting this money is important for the stability of the association, because the assessments pay for the common elements enjoyed by all residents. Assessments also help to replenish the reserve funds, which pay for any major repairs the association may need. The board is responsible for the association's finances, and collecting assessments is how it ensures that the association remains solvent.
Finally, the board acts on behalf of the association by hiring managers, attorneys, contractors and other professionals who help better the association. Board members also help conceive and lead many of the projects that will improve the HOA.
While it's a big job, board members are happy to serve the residents and make the community a great place to call home. So why not learn more about what these volunteers do by talking to your board members, attending a board meeting or even running for a seat on the board during our next election? The more people we have looking out for our association, the stronger it will be.
