Dear Community Members,

We want to recognize the many volunteers that serve as board members as the real heroes of the community management story. We commend each board member’s personal sacrifice, time invested and thoughtful commitment to act with all homeowners and residents in mind. At their very best, board members prioritize the community’s collective interest as paramount and encourage homeowners to participate actively to build communities with greater connectedness and belonging.
