HOA Board Members Need Special Skills

Susan Knox Wilson

This fall, PebbleCreek homeowners will elect a new board member for our HOA. The volunteer position is for a two-year term beginning Jan. 1, 2025. There is no incumbent running in the 2024 election and it is essential for every candidate to get their message out to the communityand for the community to really listen to the contenders and understand their positions before casting their vote.

“This year’s board election is importantas it is every year,” declared Bob Paine, president of the PebbleCreek Golf Resort Homeowners Association (HOA). “Our developer, Robson Communities Inc. (RCI) has indicated that they intend to turn over control of the HOA to the homeowners no later than January 2027 (and maybe sooner!)so the person we elect this fall will be playing a big role in the transition process.

“Board directors must have strong leadership skills,” Bob advised. “They must be able to communicate effectively, build consensus, and make tough decisions. They must also be able to provide guidance and mentorship to the organization’s leaders. So, as you evaluate the candidates, be sure to look for these important skills.”

You’ll get an opportunity to learn more about the candidates and their platforms in the weeks ahead. Look for the special Election Essentials insert in the October PebbleCreek Post, notices and postings in the weekly PebbleNews, and be sure to attend one of the candidate forums:

* Wednesday, Oct. 16Meet the Candidates Forums10 a.m. and 6 p.m. at Tuscany Falls Ballroom

* Thursday, Oct. 17Meet the Candidates Forum6 p.m. via Zoom

Online voting begins Monday, Oct. 21, and ends Friday, Nov. 1, at 2:30 p.m.
