Meet our Board of Directors

 

Our condo association’s board of directors is here to serve the community! As volunteers, they are elected by our homeowners to serve a 2-year term.

They meet regularly with our management team and outside contractors to improve our property and it’s value, while being fiscally responsible on behalf of our community members.

To get progress updates, hear votes on new business, and ask questions of our board, unit owners can attend one of our open meetings - they are roughly every two months.
